The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
82%
Examples:
- Maddie is exhausting. So obsessed with centering herself and forging her path, she never stops to consider how her presence as a middle-class white woman upends the ecosystem of The Bottom, literally putting its Black residents in harm's way.
- The drama works like two detailed tapestries, taped together in the final hour to create a full picture. As the limited series crams in countless details, the audience must examine too much at once, creating a state of delirium rather than the pulsating tone of a nail-biter.
- The women initially live parallel lives, but their worlds collide on Thanksgiving Day. Despite intriguing characters and settings, Lady in the Lake never becomes the noir thriller it could have been. Har’el buries the tale in puzzling surrealist moments.
