Matt Roush says...
I’ve long argued for the broadcast networks to return to the miniseries/limited series format, but this expanded six-part dramatization of Dateline NBC is not exactly what I had in mind. Two-time Oscar winner Renée Zellweger camps it up under a mountain of prosthetics and a glare that silences barking dogs as formidable Missouri hausfrau Pam Hupp, who’s been featured multiple times on Dateline. Implicated in the murder of her best friend (Katy Mixon), Pam preens and slurps giant sodas while trying to frame the victim’s clueless husband (Glenn Fleshler). Josh Duhamel (as a tightly permed defense lawyer) and Judy Greer (as a tightly wound prosecutor) co-star, but the main attraction besides Zellweger’s stunt casting is the creepy voice-over narration of Dateline frontman Keith Morrison, dripping smarm with every intonation. (Full review here.)
