With a teeming cast, it also frequently lacks any sense of a core (Selina’s inner circle in Veep; the Roy family in Succession). Yet though it’s a tad hackneyed on spoofing the superhero movie factory (this is, after all, a genre that reinvents and satirises itself), the series is strong on the insanity, insecurity, vanity, hierarchy, “location brain” and abject humiliation of film-making, with references to Christopher Nolan and superhero genre critic Martin Scorsese thrown in for good measure.

This hilariously vicious showbiz satire, from producers of Veep and Succession, spares no one in front or behind the camera in its skewing of a big-budget workplace. [28 Oct - 17 Nov 2024, p.4]

The Franchise isn’t damning enough to cause some sort of reckoning upon Hollywood’s franchise factory. But it is cutting enough to lift the curtain on what it’s really like to pander to an industry that constantly changes its mind and has no room for originality. The truth may not be pretty – but it certainly is laughable.
