Lisey’s Story has one of the best television casts ever constructed: Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joan Allen, Ron Cephas Jones, Dane Dehaan, Michael Pitt. I mean, come on, three of those actors in a show would be incredible, but all of them? It’s an embarrassment of riches! And each one is acting […]

For Gen X and elder Millennials, it’s a series that evokes the nostalgia of their youth; for younger Millennials and Gen Z, it’s that show they binged on Netflix and may have followed over to HBO Max […]
