Ronan Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein became the book ‘Catch and Kill,’ then a podcast, which now gets a small-screen iteration.
But if the podcast was basically the audiobook, only with people besides Farrow doing voices, and the audiobook was basically the book with Farrow doing voices, and the book was basically an extended footnote for Farrow’s reporting … it’s easy to be interested, somewhat easy to be entertained, and very difficult to quite see the purpose of this HBO incarnation.
Directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato take us through the Ronan Farrow basics again, bringing in many key figures who will be familiar from every previous step of this story. The series starts with Filipina-Italian model Ambra Gutierrez, whose recording of a scary encounter with Weinstein should have been a smoking gun years before the actual smoking guns.
