High Desert,' a new dramedy starring Patricia Arquette, is a joyful experiment in proliferating storylines and schemes.
,” Nancy Fichman, Katie Ford and Jennifer Hoppe-House’s new Apple TV Plus dramedy, kicks off. Arquette plays her daughter, defender and best friend, Peggy Newman. And in Peggy, who comes to our screens Wednesday, TV has a new odd and utterly captivating protagonist.
When Owen finds money missing from his safe and accuses Peggy of stealing from him, her attentiveness pays off. She notices that her colleague Tammy showed up to work with breast implants — despite having just been dumped by her rich fiance, a former news anchor who now calls himself “Guru Bob” — and concludes that Tammy is responsible for the theft.It is Peggy’s feeling that Guru Bob, not Tammy, whose cheap $3,000 boob job is punishing her enough, should pay Owen back.
But the parallels end there. “Poker Face’s” Charlie is, in practice, almost implausibly functional, kind and effective. Peggy isn’t. She’s a shrewd negotiator, but her schemes backfire as often as they work. Her siblings understandably resent her lack of follow-through; she can’t bring herself to sit through even one hour of detective training. Her best friend, Carol , who’s sort of on the lam and living under an assumed name, goes in her stead.
