Steven Soderbergh Returns to TV with Efficient Crime Yarn 'Full Circle': A Complete Guide

Steven Soderbergh's new crime miniseries "Full Circle" is a stripped-down, workmanlike narrative that explores the connections across race and class in New York City. The story follows a Guyanese crime syndicate's kidnapping attempt on the family of a Manhattan celebrity, leading to a tense and star-studded ensemble cast. While the show occasionally elevates the genre with its effective set-pieces, it falls short in fully developing its characters. Despite this, "Full Circle" is a competent work that touches on compelling themes like karma and the long shadow of colonialism.
