‘Glamorous’ Trailer: Kim Cattrall Gets Her ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Moment in Netflix Queer Comedy Series

Netflix’s upcoming series “Glamorous” is like “The Devil Wears Prada” if Meryl Streep were replaced by “Sex and the City’s” Kim Cattrall and instead of Anne Hathaway, she hired drag queens and non-binary actor Miss Benny to work for her.

It’s a workplace comedy that has no grasp of how work works, a rom-com that fails to generate a single convincing spark, a Gen Z coming-of-age saga with the cultural references of a geriatric Millennial. What occasional glimmers of potential reveal themselves are buried under tedious writing and nonsensical plot turns. To put it in terms its beauty-biz characters might understand: It’s the TV equivalent of buying a discount eyeshadow palette crammed with two dozen shades, only to realize that maybe three of them actually work on you at all.

Its protagonist is Marco (Miss Benny), a young queer man who aspires to be a beauty influencer — though with a follower count in the triple digits, he really earns his money working the Glamorous by Madolyn makeup counter…
