Rachel Weisz shines as twin doctors in Amazon's 'Dead Ringers' series.

Amazon's limited series adaptation of Dead Ringers is a worthwhile remake with a distinctive perspective and a towering central performance by Rachel Weisz. Creator Alice Birch uses the added narrative real estate of television to examine reproductive freedom and the fertility industry. The series is a direct assault on eons of archetypes suggesting that for a woman to be both ambitious and maternal requires duality. Dead Ringers is weird, unsettling, and nightmarish, but completely on its own terms, leaving Cronenberg's unmistakable version of body horror safe and sound.
