In a crowded field of psychological thrillers comes Apple TV+’s latest star-studded adaptation of Araminta Hall’s 2020 bestseller. On the podcast, we break down the show’s premiere episodes, “Eleanor” and “Crush,” while discussing the plot, the changes from the book, favorite characters, comparisons, and the immediate reception. The story is simple, revolving around three women — Mary, Nancy, and Eleanor — and the ramifications when one of them is murdered. The showrunner, Annie Weisman, has worked on California-based productions before, so it’s no surprise the show’s setting was moved from the UK to SoCal. Tune in to hear our full rundown. Welcome to Today’s Episode.
