Palm Royale Review | Breezy and Wickedly Fun Comedy with Little Depth
Kristen Wiig and an all-star cast delight in Apple TV's 1960s'-, Palm Beach-set romp that purposely avoids diving beneath the surface.
Oh, Palm Royale. What a slathery soap fest you are. It’s hard not to like you. You intrigue with your shiny 1969 Palm Beach setting. You serve up Kristen Wiig (SNL) as an idealistic underdog hoping to slither her way into the upper echelon of society. You unleash Allison Janney (Mom, West Wing) and simply allow her to chew up the scenery at any given turn. Laura Dern as a feminist hippie chick? Right on. Singer Ricky Martin, buff and sometimes shirtless, and proving himself as a talented actor? (Thank you for the former, and bless you for the latter.) And Carol Burnett doing so much by hardly saying a word? Brilliant.
