Interference by kay honeyman5/21/2023 ![]() What I can speak to is the Austen of it all, and I gotta say, it hits Emma notes in very clever ways, much the same way Clueless did: not over-the-top, but with all these little nods and easter eggs for Austen fans, while interpreting and reinventing the story in fresh, fun ways. ![]() ![]() I can't speak to the Friday Night Lights of it all, as I've never watched it (couldn't get past the nauseating shaky-cam of the first episode someone tell me if the camera work gets better and its worth sticking around?), but I'd imagine that any YA small town slice-of-Americana that heavily features football probably garners the same comparison. As I said in the video, it set up a lot of interesting contrasts well right from the beginning (there vs here, then vs now, us vs them). It was warm and endearing and funny, and captured the place-feel very well. Interference was strong from beginning to end. Basically I said it was on track to be a favorite of 2016, unless it took a nosedive, so now the question is: did it? There may have been "delighted jazz hands" in the video, so. I was smitten right from the first page, couldn't get over the voice and the fantastic dry humor, and well, everything, basically. ![]() Those of you who watched my First Impressions video on Interference will likely have suspected I was going to love this. ![]() 4.5 This was a really fun and clever take on Emma, with a fantastic voice. ![]()
