Leopard Skin: The Map and the Territory (2022)
Episode 1, Season 1
Brutally awful script

Dialog, plot, premise -- all terrible. It's utterly incomprehensible how this got approved and funded. I understand that Carla Gugino's boyfriend wrote and directed this mess, but she's a true pro, and never should have agreed to abet him in embarrassing himself and the other actors this way. It looks cheap, and it plays unbelievably from start to finish. It relies on self-conscious post-modern tropes in place of actual character development. And when it postures itself as edgy, it's at it's most cringey. So, amongst it's many, many flaws, in the final analysis, it's the script that dooms the project. And for a writer's medium like episodic TV, that's irredeemable.
