Uncovering the Secrets of 'Fatal Attraction': From Glenn Close to Streaming.

The TV remake of "Fatal Attraction" on Paramount+ puts a female-centric spin on the 1987 movie, with Lizzy Caplan playing Alex Forrest, who takes revenge on her ex-lover Dan Gallagher (Joshua Jackson). Unlike the movie, there is no bunny-boiling, and the relationship between Alex and Dan is more emotional than physical. The show also explores Alex's mental illness and childhood trauma, making her a more sympathetic character. The series follows the fallout for Dan's ex-wife Beth (Amanda Peet) and their daughter Ellen (Alyssa Jirrels) after Dan is released from prison for killing Alex.

'Fatal Attraction' Remake Fails to Impress with Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan

The new eight-episode re-conception of Fatal Attraction on Paramount+ fails to find a balance between voyeuristic thrills and psychological nuance, and lacks any important connection to the zeitgeist. Despite exceptional performances from Lizzy Caplan and Toby Huss, the series offers no improvement over the original and has two unsatisfying endings. The show tries to have it both ways with its depiction of the characters, but ultimately fails to deliver a worthwhile viewing experience.

Revisiting 'Fatal Attraction': A Thriller with Mixed Reviews.

Paramount+’s new series adaptation of Fatal Attraction, starring Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan, loses the thrills of the classic thriller and replaces them with leaden flash-forwards and stilted dialogue. The show aims to reexamine the central affair through modern eyes, but the misguided revamp only manages to lose what made the story exciting in the first place. The result is a thriller that’s heavy on moralizing and light on entertainment value.
