As TV expands beyond its traditional borders and attracts talent that would otherwise typically stick to films, the troubling trend of people describing their shows as “a [x]-hour movie” refuses to…
, no less – as an eight-hour film. And yet, that’s exactly what the show ends up resembling most as its strong start meanders to its repetitive, inevitable end.
The bigger than life story of WeWork has so many different threads that the show could have followed, but it makes the deliberate choice to center the “love story” between Adam and his enigmatic wife, Rebekah . As “WeCrashed” depicts it, they believed themselves not only capable of “saving the world,” but also felt duty-bound to make everyone else understand why they must.
There are attempts along the way to explain their evolutions into the narcissists who would end up squandering billions. Adam’s obsession with forging community wherever he goes is glancingly attributed to his childhood growing up on a kibbutz, while Rebekah’s struggle to develop her own voice gets explored in an early episode of flashbacks, as well as every time someone mentions her much more famous cousin, Gwyneth Paltrow.
In this respect, it’s hard not to compare “WeCrashed” to another recent eight-episode limited series about a charismatic startup CEO rising with alarming speed before falling to pieces in front of the entire world. Asdetails how Elizabeth Holmes became both a billionaire and one of the tech world’s most notorious cautionary tales, it takes pains in each episode to show the damage she caused to people in the process.
