Peacock's 'The Five Star Weekend' Is a Pleasantly Shallow Adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand's Novel
A review of Peacock's adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand's 'The Five Star Weekend,' which follows a culinary influencer who gathers her closest friends for a weekend getaway. The critic argues the show is enjoyable but shallow — "snack food" — lacking the depth of the novel but still immediately pleasing and bingeable.
Key quotes
Peacock's new adaptation of The Five Star Weekend is a worthwhile lesson in lowered expectations.
This is a story about a culinary maven, but the show itself is snack food, more calorically empty than the Elin Hilderbrand novel on which it's based, but nonetheless immediately pleasing and impossible to put down.
