I had the immense privilege to see this in its first chapter in 2024, when it was a 30 minute comedic masterpiece. Every member of the cast has matured together, and the long-term work by this team, like the best sitcoms, allows each character to challenge each other and push the boundaries of their characters and castmates alike. Here’s hoping this show’s life continues well beyond Fringe!
What I didn't like

My overall impression
Just a masterclass in chemistry and character work and evolution from this team. Three chapters follow a saavy team of political leaders and thinkers as they work within and against the system—and with and against one another—in a study of power both short-term and long. Drew Petriello’s dialogue crackles as always in the hands of a tremendously able cast and Brandon Karsh’s clean and intense direction.
