We love to watch limited series about Privileged People in Peril, which usually include the following ingredients: a bestselling novel or high-profile true-crime story as source material; the casting of esteemed and well-liked actors in the lead roles; glossy visuals that often include sleek and modern homes worthy of an Architectural Digest spread, and unabashedly salacious material.
Think “The Undoing” with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. “Defending Jacob” with Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery. “The Staircase” with Colin Firth and Toni Collette. “Little Fires Everywhere” with Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. “Big Little Lies” with … everybody.
