Review of High Desert

High Desert (2023)
3/10
Not my cup of mud

Well, tried to give it a chance with two episodes. But Arquette so completely dominates the screen that it's all about her and her only. I get the character she's trying to do but it's so over the top and the jokes fall flat. Her attempt to browbeat a landlord is so formulaic I just cringed. She does seem to be constantly out of breath and you cannot help wondering if it's all that weight she's carrying.

The strange jump from the opening scene to present day was jarring. And you wondered "Did she not get arrested and serve time"? Who knows, they didn't explain.

It's just not funny. And this show is supposed to be funny.
