Under the Bridge

Matt Roush says...

An unsettling eight-part drama based on the late Rebecca Godfrey’s true-crime chronicle stars Riley Keough (Daisy Jones and the Six) as Godfrey, a disaffected writer who returns home to Victoria in Canada’s British Columbia after 10 years to report on “the misunderstood girls” of the region. Little does she know that she’s stepped into a world of intrigue, sparked by the disappearance and presumed murder of teenage Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta) after tangling with mean girls from a group youth home. The local cops call them “Bic” girls—because, says group leader Josephine (a chilling Chloe Guidry), “we’re disposable.” Killers of the Flower Moon Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone brings a stoic gravity to the role of indigenous police officer Cam Bentland, who takes a special interest in Reena’s case. The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi co-stars as Veena’s devout and distraught mother. The series launches with two episodes.
