Review of Mr. Corman

Mr. Corman (2021)
7/10
JGL is excellent, show is uneven
10 September 2021
JGL is one of the best actors of our current era. He also has provided some of the best performances in TV and theatrical. He is also eccentric and a little quirky. Mr. Corman delivers yet another great character. The show really is taking some risks so early on which will probably alienate some viewers. The structure of the series is a bit choppy and uneven. A couple episodes are really good then a couple divert from the concept and are pointless. Did we need a whole episode already about his roommate who is missing for a lot of other episodes? Anything that promotes mental health is a huge tick and some of the scenes are brilliantly written and played but then it drifts off into "Ally McBeal"-territory and drags on some ideas which have no pay off. JGL is behind-the-scenes on this one so he takes a bit of responsibility here. I would be surprised if this gets a second season and even more shocked if it ever gets to a third one. JGL is kinda to blame here despite yet another excellent performance.
