Jones is speaking of Scott Landon, a character played by Clive Owen \u2014 a novelist whose notoriety has given him great wealth, but whose life reads like a horror that he himself would have written.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s strange to begin a review of a series toplined by Julianne Moore, one of the world\u2019s leading performers, by discussing another character; she is usually the event. As Lisey, Scott\u2019s widow, Moore is predictably excellent, a performer it feels tempting to reduce to \u201creliable\u201d even as there\u2019s so much quickfire thought pulsing behind each line reading. But the story doesn\u2019t take sufficient advantage: While it may be Lisey\u2019s story, it\u2019s Scott\u2019s show. And in the wake of his death, which precedes the action of the series, Scott\u2019s inner workings come in for close and often surreal examination \u2014 complete with an obsessed fan, played with wild zeal by an untrammelled Dane DeHaan, posing a threat. Lisey\u2019s coming out of grief is, at times, practically a subplot.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s happening here feels like a tug-of-war. Series director Pablo Larra\u00edn established with his 2016 film \u201cJackie\u201d that he is an especially keen observer of images and personas. \u201cJackie\u201d dealt specifically with a woman\u2019s struggle to maintain dignity in the face of personal loss, making Larra\u00edn an intuitive choice for a series in which Moore\u2019s character must grieve but also hold it together to support her sisters (Joan Allen and Jennifer Jason Leigh, both excellent). But King wrote each episode, and the novelist\u2019s closeness to the source material \u2014 a book he has described as unusual personal and special to him \u2014 forces a chunky structure and uncinematic ideas on a story whose core is strong.<\/p>\n<p>That core is in the relationship between Lisey and Scott, which Moore evokes most piquantly when Owen is out of the picture, with memories of his charisma lingering. We come to see the horror novelist onscreen so frequently that we\u2019re not allowed to miss him; the horror novelist offscreen conjures for him both a gruesomely, excessively traumatic backstory as well as a surreal means of escape that allows Lisey and Scott to supernaturally communicate. Larra\u00edn tends to illustrate even King\u2019s most laborious metaphors with skill and an eye for beauty, but there\u2019s simply too much here that could not have worked in a visual medium. And from Allen and Leigh, welcome as they are, to a careening DeHaan, the show is trying to cram in such a panoramic view of the threats facing Lisey and Scott\u2019s posthumous bond that we can lose sight of that bond entirely.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s much here that works well: What is meant to be scary is scary, what is meant to touch the heart will. And Moore, always good at playing women trying to project calm, is in fine form. But viewers may wonder what it all adds up to, why this unblinking look at one woman\u2019s hard time also had so much extra, often outlandish stuff that didn\u2019t quite pay off. Its blend of realism and fantasy is far from seamless: The latter always wins out.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLisey\u2019s Story\u201d debuts Friday, June 4, on Apple TV Plus, and will drop new episodes weekly.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
