such a disappointment
This really is quite poor. I so wanted to like it, be captivated, be enlightened. But the tone is close to unbearable: cloying, self-absorbed, unctuous. And there hasn’t been a single moment that goes anywhere beneath the surface. The questions are beyond bland and anodyne, and the guests respond in kind. Everyone comes off seeming like the most self-absorbed, shallow bores I’d run screaming from at a party. The pity is that I’m sure at least some of the participants are far more interesting than they seem here.

More reviews of The Critic and Her Publics
I really appreciated the subtle takedown of Andrea Long Chu, the queen of the nasty takedown. Chu did not hold up under questioning. It was also painful to hear her try to improvise about Zoe Leonard’s fabulous manifesto.

Believe the bad reviews. The host Merve Emre is awkward and off-putting and the show doesn’t feel like it’s about criticism or the guests. It feels like it’s about self promotion and her.
