"Yes, it's another entry in the increasingly popular eat-the-rich genre. Yes, it has shades of The White Lotus and everything starring Nicole Kidman for the past five years. Yes, most of the budget has gone to wardrobe, with any woman over the age of 30 apparently allergic to synthetic fibres and every actor seemingly cast primarily for her ability to carry off swagged silk and cashmere in warm beige tones."
"We begin with the obligatory the-future-as-prelude scene, which here involves four women two older, two younger standing in a well-appointed bathroom in their underwear scrubbing blood off their hands. We then flashback to begin the six-part journey to finding out what the jolly heck is going on. The four women are a brace of mothers and their daughters. One mother is Juliet. She is played by Eve Best"
Wild Cherry centers on ultra-wealthy residents of Richford Lake and leans into eat-the-rich satire while embracing soapy, stylish excess. The production prioritizes wardrobe, favoring camel tones, silk and cashmere, and conveys insular, glossy community dynamics akin to Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl. The plot opens with four women covered in blood, then flashes back across six episodes to reveal the relationships between two mothers and their daughters. Juliet, an 'old money' mother played by Eve Best, is launching a parenting book and embodies concern for reputation and appearance. The tone mixes trashy pleasures with pretension and encourages viewers to enjoy its indulgence.
