Palm Royale

Just finished episode seven and I am glad I have stayed with it. The actors are hitting their stride, most of the main characters (which did take a while to develop) are finally taking on a third dimension, and the writing, which was a little hit and miss at first, has improved. The last two episodes have been funny, witty even. I think the show has found its groove.

This show is so much fun, satire, it's not meant to be serious. Although it does have some profound moments for sure. Every episode something new and totally unexpected pops up. It's hilarious.

Kaia Gerber who plays Mitzi is Cindy Crawford’s daughter. No wonder she’s hot AF.

Finally, an Apple TV+ show, without aggressive Apple devices placement.

It was boring and then it was ok and then it had a terrible ending. wtf.

Only gave this a go for Kristen Wiig, and she was the only reason I stayed for 2 episodes, which was long enough for me to realise the whole thing was boring. The humour isn't funny, and the plot wasn't interesting enough. The only interest I had was that the parts that I know for a fact will only be answered in the last episode. So I stopped before I regretted wasting my time. It feels like a fantasy with no magic. The worst part about this is the wasted potential on Kristen Wiig. Apple TV is just disappointment after disappointment. Visually pull you into rejection.

It's getting better! Higher stakes help, but I could go goofier too.

[tv+] Although apparently it is a light and superficial comedy about the protagonist's obsession with entering the circles of Palm Beach high society, the shadow of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War is always in the background, despite through radio and television, in black and white, which serves as a contrast between the colorful staging of Florida beaches and the darkness of the political ins and outs that are handled in Washington. The series is fun and apparently superficial, but it provides an interesting vision of a world of appearances that lives with its back to reality.
