Feb 19, 2021The show works, great cast, great tone. I didn’t think I’d like the character of Clarice thrown into a classic network crime drama but I have enjoyed the first 2 episodes immensely and looking forward to seeing more.

There is an interesting drama to be written about the future adventures of Agent Starling. Clarice (Alibi), unfortunately, isn’t it, but rather a by-numbers procedural.
-
It tells instead of shows, maybe because its visuals are consumed with the stylistic tics of network procedurals: a saturated color palette, recurring images slowed down to a nightmarish crawl, exterior shots so gloomy, they’re almost Stygian. This is storytelling that feels the need to constantly regain its audience’s attention after each commercial break. More troubling, though, is the show’s tenuous conception of its central character.

Aiding Clarice considerably is the performance of Australian actress Rebecca Breeds (Pretty Little Liars) as Starling. Breeds wisely patterns her diffident, even shy, Clarice after that of Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, cloaking her intellectual capacity in bashful humility toward authority that sometimes cracks open to reveal repressed rage.
