One indicator that actors Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough became big deals in 2023 — through their performances in “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Daisy Jones & the Six,” respectively — is all the awards attention they received.
The other is how the new Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” shoehorns their characters’ underdeveloped relationship into more organic parts of the narrative. It’s as if the show creators decided at the last minute that these newly minted stars needed more shared screen time — that the show was missing its Pacino-De Niro “Heat” moment.
One sitdown between Gladstone’s British Columbia cop character, Cam, and Keough’s writer character, Rebecca, holds real potential.
