Palm Royale (Apple TV+) - S: Wiig, Martin, Lucas, Bibb - Premieres 3/20/2024
Palm Royale is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, “Palm Royale” asks the same question that still baffles us today: “How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?” Set during the powder keg year of 1969, Palm Royale is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
Loosely based on the novel “Mr. and Mrs. American Pie” by Juliet McDaniel and produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios, Palm Royale is written, executive produced and showrun by Abe Sylvia for Aunt Sylvia’s Moving Picture Company, executive produced by Laura Dern and Jayme Lemons for Jaywalker Pictures, Kristen Wiig, Katie O’Connell Marsh, Tate Taylor and John Norris for Wyolah Films, Sharr White, Sheri Holman and Boat Rocker. The series is directed by Taylor, Sylvia, Claire Scanlon and Stephanie Laing.

Wow, first time I even heard of this is right now. Apple usually has decent quality. Worth watching for what exists, or is it indeed a crappy show?

I had a lot more fun with the second season. It has much more of a manic, go-for-broke energy, cranking everything up to be so much bigger and more ridiculous-as-a-compliment than the original season. The season 2 finale feels written as a series finale (with a relatively minor tease for what could’ve been a driving plot point in a potential third season), so it’s worth a look.
