Hulu’s mother-son mystery ‘Phony’ mutes Connie Britton’s charisma under visual effects

According to Variety, Hulu’s Mother-Son Mystery “Phony” mutes Connie Britton’s charisma under visual effects.

The review expresses regret that only half of the first season was provided to critics in advance.

This limited access is problematic because the central source of suspense depends heavily on how the show resolves its key mystery.

The premise is described as a reverse cuckoo situation, or at least potentially so.
