Under the Bridge (2024)

A compelling tale of "mob" murder by teenagers

[8/10 · 20 April 2024]

On the heels of giving an Oscar nominated performance in Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," Lily Gladstone is once again a force to be reckoned with in this TV miniseries. Her character of Cam Bentland has followed in her adoptive father's footsteps, entering into law enforcement in the Victoria, B. C., area. It's based upon a book written by the character in the show, Rebecca Godfrey, who died of cancer in 2022, but not before choosing Riley Keough to play her in this. Vritika Gupta portrays the unfortunate victim in the story, Reena Virk, and Chloe Guidry plays Josephine "Jo" Bell, the evil ringleader who imagines herself a young female John Gotti (THE guy to be, in her twisted mind). We know all this (as did Cam and Rebecca IRL) by the conclusion of the second episode (of 8), so I reserve the right to revise my rating and/or re-review this series later in its limited run. But I am anxious to see where the producers and the director take it from here. For now, rated 8 of 10.
