In HBO's crackling new thriller-comedy 'Run,' Merritt Wever finally takes center stage. Alan Sepinwall's review
feels more explicitly like the star vehicle she’s earned through years of endearingly loopy scene-stealing work in TV and film. When performers move from supporting to lead roles, they can risk losing the traits that made them so distinct, or they can simply feel overexposed. Here, more Wever is a very good thing.
Wever’s boundless appeal, and Gleeson’s willingness to make an ass of himself early and often, go a long way towards compensating for the dawning possibility that Ruby is right to hate herself for what they’ve done. Butis often neither fish nor fowl in its blend of different tones and genres: rarely funny enough when it’s trying to be a straightforward comedy, nor taut enough when it shifts into mystery mode.
