Stars: Kristen Bell, Danielle Davenport, Kimiko Glenn, Wynter Kullman, Kelsey Grammer, Brett Gelman, Jon Foster, Elisabeth Ness, Brian McCarthy, Keilly McQuail, Jen Zaborowski, Brittany Ross | Written and Directed by Lauren Miller
Lauren Miller’s directorial debut, Like Father, fits well into the canonical fatigue of the Netflix original, a harsh and sadly true statement that any film on the platform is becoming tainted with. Like Father, I hate to say, is almost certainly dead on arrival with so little intrigue or adhesive to even have a questionable release, made even more disappointing with the talent that’s castrated and simplified in a plot so numb and saturated, you can piece the jigsaw and surprise your friends as a psychic, within seconds.
To describe Miller’s film as simple would be somewhat an understatement. It is to be fair, a constraint of every grain of flair possible with zero ounces of originality within its bones.

Natural redheads make up just 2-6% of the American population, but all four of the principal characters who appear in the debut episode of Redheads Anonymous are proud gingers. Chief among them is Molly, played by series creator Elisabeth Ness. Molly is out to earn herself a "redhead scholarship," and in order to apply for it, she must learn what it means to be a redhead.
This may sound like a ludicrous premise, but that's the point. Redheads Anonymous frames a more general discussion of what it means to be different around the relatively trivial subject of hair color. "Ness is also targeting anyone who's ever felt like an outcast because of a physical attribute,...
