SERIES PREMIERE
Sunday, Aug. 14, 9/8c, AMC
BREATHING NEW LIFE into a franchise that even a die-hard (pardon the vignettes is a welcome reminder that less can be more. I’ve seen three of the six episodes, and while this format is uneven by its nature, I’m especially encouraged by the shifting tones, from whimsy to suspense and existential despair, evoking in its imaginative expansion of genre and mastery of short-form storytelling.
