    Very rarely, these days, do I encounter a show that feels liberated enough from genre cliches to keep surprising me. Phony did that.

    haven’t seen many people discussing the new Hulu series Phony (with thee Connie Britton), but it’s an unusually successful genre hybrid of doppelganger thriller and teen comedy. my pleasantly surprised review for @avclub.com: www.avclub.com/phony-review...

    There's a really odd show on Disney+ called Phony. I think it's aimed at young adults? I don't know. It's enjoyable, with an odd premise. A guy gets into a car crash with his Mum; wakes up in hospital, and his mother has been replaced by a near-lookalike. Meera Syal's in it (inexplicably).
