    When it comes to Sun Records, the hook is there, but it can’t sustain the beat.

    Repetitious (okay, we get it: Sam Phillips had an unhappy marriage and made out with Marion as frequently as possible) and clumsy in its lurch from one disparate subplot to another, Sun Records is such a slow burn, it’s kind of a fizzle.

    The show is far more invested in being a lightweight, soapy set of biopics--there’s a lot of meet-cutes in charmingly ‘50s spots, like the roller rink or the high school gym--that is more about playacting with a sanitized version of the ‘50s than it is about the history of this moment. It doesn’t help that Sun Records is devoid of plot.
