Reckless desire is on the syllabus in this adult dramedy set on a leafy college campus, where an emotionally stalled professor whose name we never learn (Rachel Weisz) becomes obsessed with the hot new married-with-infant colleague (Leo Woodall) who befriends her at his peril. Dissatisfied in an open marriage (to Mad Men‘s John Slattery) that has grown stale, and with her husband facing sexual-misconduct charges on campus, her neuroses are exposed whenever she turns to the camera to break the fourth wall and let us in on what she’s constantly thinking. On Fleabag, this was usually saucy and funny. Here, it gets tiresome pretty quickly.
