'Bye Bye Barry' documents Sanders’ early days in the league and his abrupt and shocking decision to retire at the top of his game. Why would he do this? The film attempts to disentangle the man from the mystery.
While slick, well-paced, and positive, the documentary doesn’t feel too much like a cloying hagiography. We hear from the band themselves, and they control their own image here like a memoir.
Greta Lee is, once again, my highlight of the season. I wouldn’t be surprised if, in the long run, Stella is the best we’ll get from this show, the buck wild writing notwithstanding, with the marvelous Lee’s acting spectrum on full display.
The Morning Show’s biggest achievement this season? Calling (some) attention to the state of the news media industry. Its biggest flaw? Ignoring that to focus on a January 6 telenovela.
Overall, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiere left much to be desired but it also established itself as a very interesting take on the book series.
