Give Every Actress From The Hours Her Own TV Cult
In the world of journalism, it’s commonly believed that three occurrences signal a trend, but after two instances, it seems quite clear where this is heading. Let me put it another way: Following the success of Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore in their respective limited series, it appears that Meryl Streep should join them by starring in her own trashy-yet-intriguing limited series, playing a mysterious cult leader. Although I wouldn’t mind seeing limited series featuring Toni Collette, Miranda Richardson, or Margo Martindale on the same theme, for now let’s focus on our leading ladies from the film The Hours. It’s both disheartening and amusingly ironic that actresses from what some might call the pinnacle of Oscar-bait drama – a film I’ve always found unoriginal and overly dramatic – are now spearheading these entertaining, albeit absurd, TV dramas. To maintain the comedic structure and for the sake of entertainment industry health, let’s round off this trend with Meryl Streep.
