Now, you can enjoy it at home.From ourreview:That script is a terrific three-course meal for Faist and OConnor. They get to trade off face and heel roles from scene to scene and era to era, as Art and Patrick help and hurt each other in equal measure. But its an absolute smorgasbord for Zendaya, whoeven in starring roleshasnever been given this much roomto stretch. Tashi is a gratifyingly rich character, both righteously angry over the thwarting of her ambitions and cruelly angry at all the men who have the nerve to keep on playing the game that was taken away from her. Shes hungry for affection and withholding it at the same time, by turns sensually curious and coldly dispassionate, ambitious and exhausted, conflicted and confident. Shes the kind of character that media masters theses are made of, and unpicking Tashis conflicting motives and how she integrates them is likely to become a pop culture obsession in the months to come.New on AMC PlusDandelionWhere to watch: Available to stream on AMC PlusGenre:DramaRun time:1h 53mDirector:Nicole RiegelCast:KiKi Layne, Thomas Doherty, Melanie Nicholls-KingKiKi Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk) stars in this musical drama as Dandelion, a struggling singer-songwriter who travels the country performing gigs, all the while yearning for a career breakthrough she fears will never happen.
