"Uncovering the True Crime Drama 'Under the Bridge' Starring Lily Gladstone"

Hulu's true crime drama series "Under the Bridge" respectfully navigates the pitfalls of the genre but ultimately falls flat, lacking the compelling craft and distinction of other recent true crime dramas. Starring Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough, the series revolves around the sensational murder of a 14-year-old girl in Canada, but despite its self-awareness and empathy, it struggles to captivate with its portrayal of the crime and its aftermath. While the show addresses important themes such as racism and incompetent law enforcement, it fails to deliver a nuanced and compelling narrative, leaving it feeling tepid and reminiscent of other, better true crime dramas.
