Crisis in Six Scenes (2017 Woody Allen & scr)

Ever trying something new, the 81 year old makes his first 6 part TV series, for Amazon. Also a first I think is the sixties setting - where of course both he and co-star Elaine May came to attention.

With Miley Cyrus, shot by Eigil Bryld  (In Bruges, Becoming Jane).

A bit talky and draggy in places - could it have been better as a standard Woody length feature? For example, the TV comedy pitch and ensuing diner scene don't add a lot. Though lots of incidental pleasure in things like the adventures of the Book Club, and the ending in which Woody's character is mistaken for JD Salinger.
