Crisis in Six Scenes

Back when working with Woody Allen was still socially acceptable, i.e. before the #MeToo movement finally took off, Amazon Studios made a deal with the famed auteur to develop a comedy series.

Now that Allen's name has become too toxic to put on any project, the series has been canceled, but the lone season of Crisis in Six Scenes is quintessential Woody Allen. Whatever the case may be about the allegations made against him, his talent is still intact well into his eighties!

The premise is extremely simple: an old couple's ordinary and monotonous existence is upheaved by the arrival of a wanted fugitive, who is an old acquaintance of the wife.

If you're a fan of Allen's work, check this out because it had me in stitches a few times.
