Netflix hasn’t mastered the Christmas TV special, as A Very Murray Christmas proves
https://www.washingtonpost.com/enter...a0c_story.html
The Bill Murray special "never feels exactly right,” says Hank Stuever. "This might be a technological matter that, for once, gives the advantage to old-fashioned television — the kind you plug in the wall and watch according to its schedule, not yours. Netflix can do many things that broadcast TV cannot, but whatever ineffable irony is left to squeeze out of the Christmas special just doesn’t translate here.” PLUS: It’s indulgent like those old Christmas specials, it’s a holiday special for the disillusioned, this is Bill Murray in the guise of Bill Murray, Murray’s special is saved by George Clooney and Miley Cyrus, and it captures the true spirit of the season. |
