Part 7/9:
Perhaps most troubling is what the critic describes as Hedland’s self-indulgence in storytelling. Projects like Russian Doll sacrifice coherence for style, creating frustrating viewing experiences. Sleeping with Other People is viewed as a series that prioritizes shocking moments over cohesive storytelling, often feeling forced and insincere. This tendency showcases Hedland's inclination to serve her own creative whims at the expense of audience engagement, turning her projects into vanity exercises rather than compelling narratives.
