Meryl Streep and Netflix are coming for Franzen

Netflix is finally adapting Jonathan Franzen’s 'The Corrections' with Meryl Streep and Cord Jefferson, which is basically prestige bingo. While the world celebrates, I’m wondering if we really need the most decorated actress in history to tell a story about the crushing weight of mediocrity. It’s like hiring a Michelin-star chef to microwave a TV dinner; the technique is flawless, but the soul of the mess is gone. I’m already bracing for the inevitable awards bait sheen that sanitizes the suburban rot.
