In case you missed this gem earlier this year on MGM+, a sweetly comedic valentine to theater gets a wider platform on Prime Video, starring Tony and Oscar winner Kevin Kline as narcissistic Broadway star Richard Bean, seeking redemption and maybe a comeback by staging Our Town (a true American classic) at his Pennsylvania hometown’s struggling community theater. The terrific cast includes Jon Tenney as Richard’s good-natured brother Jon and four-time Emmy winner Laura Linney as Jon’s wife and Richard’s ex, who’s also the town mayor when not trying to keep the theater afloat. Blue Bloods‘ Len Cariou (another Tony winner) plays Richard’s addled father, for whom the whole world is a stage. The eight-episode season is a binge-worthy delight.
