A Lisa Johnson Mandell / Tandy Culpepper TV Review: "Masters of the Air" and "Baby Reindeer"
In this episode of The Hollywood Beat, Tandy Culpepper welcomes Critics Choice Association member Lisa Johnson Mandell to begin a regular series of TV reviews. Lisa has been an entertainment film and TV critic for some 25 years. She brings a rare, insightful perspective to all things entertainment.
Lisa has reported across an array of media including broadcast (radio and television) as well as online. Plus, if you’re curious about how the stars live, Lisa gives you an inside look at the homes of Hollywood’s rich and famous on her website AtHomeInHollywood.com.
We kick of our inaugural TV reviews with two highly-regarded limited series: The Apple+ World War II bomber drama based on true events, Masters of the Air; we also offer our opinion on another story based on true events, this one Netflix’s stalker drama Baby Reindeer.
If you haven’t seen them, we think you’ll find them of interest if for widely divergent reasons. If you have seen them, see if you agree with our assessment.
