Both profoundly disturbing and deeply hilarious, DeadRingers proves Rachel Weisz is in a league all her own. Our review:
Dead Ringers doesn’t waste any time getting into the meat of things , so I’m not going to either: This series is one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever seen, and I mean that in the best possible way. There is talk of “cutting babies from women’s wombs,” more than a few f-bombs and c-words, and graphic sexual content including discussions of twincest — and that’s just in the first two minutes.
But it’s the attention to detail that sets the show apart. Parallels and symbolism are subtle but aplenty, with cheeky moments of foreshadowing you may only catch the second time around. The cinematography cleverly reflects such narrative choices, playing with mirrors and emphasizing reflections and doubles.
That’s not to say her co-stars aren’t impressive as well. Quite the opposite. The performers around Weisz are of the highest caliber, not to mention perfectly cast. Britne Oldford brings heart and tenderness to the show as Genevieve, Beverly’s girlfriend — and, therefore, Elliot’s nemesis. Soft-spoken and gentle yet far from a wallflower, it’s easy to see why Beverly falls for her fast, and impossible not to cheer for their relationship.
I’d be remiss not to mention a few of these other smaller, albeit just as important, puzzle pieces. Though many shows, especially in the streaming age, can blend together, each of Dead Ringers’ six episodes feels distinct and has somewhat of a rotating cast of set pieces and guest stars.
