STREAMING REVIEWS: University politics & pharma conspiracy

The Chair – Sandra Oh, a consummate actress who deftly does both drama and comedy, stars as the new English Department Chair, Professor Ji-Joon Kim, of a struggling Ivy League-type University in this brand new six-episode Limited Series. It’s deep, it’s smart, it’s funny, and it’s real – with some embellishments here and there.

While Sandra Oh does lead the cast, what’s truly enjoyable with the series is how it works as an ensemble piece. The different professors, the Chair’s daughter and her father, are all great counterpoints to the academic life we’re treated to, and brings home how life exists beyond the ivied walls of the universities.

It’s a promising premise, but unfortunately, it’s offered in very broad strokes just to establish a villain. And what does ensue is a revenge thriller that pretty much plays it by the books and offers no surprises. No surprises that is until about 3/4 into the film, a reveal that comes out of left field is suddenly dropped on our collective laps. Many may not have seen it coming, but precisely because it’s outlandish and strains disbelief.
