Review: Jennifer Garner in Peacock Drama ‘The Five-Star Weekend’
If The Five-Star Weekend were a cookie recipe like its protagonist, Hollis Shaw, the food influencer played by Jennifer Garner, it would be a treat that looks good and tastes sweet but lacks that extra oomph to make it truly exceptional. The Peacock limited series, based on a novel by Elin Hilderbrand, features a star-studded cast and beautiful settings that make it a perfect summer binge watch. It’s a light and enjoyable series that holds your interest without overwhelming you with heavy drama.
With its picturesque views and breezy beach-read origins, The Five-Star Weekend is like a comforting dessert that hits the spot but doesn’t leave a lasting impression. The show has all the ingredients for a delightful viewing experience, but it falls slightly short of being truly extraordinary. Regardess, it’s a good option for a leisurely summer watch.
