BET’s bright new comedy ‘Twenties’ is a loving look back at Lena Waithe’s early days in showbiz. Alan Sepinwall’s review
— perhaps the greatest movie ever made about the toll this business takes on women — is the first of many to Old Hollywood. The friends later attend an outdoor screening of that film, and the series’ soundtrack is as full of movie-score cues from the Forties and Fifties as it is more contemporary hip-hop and R&B.
This could risk coming across as hubris — Waithe and her collaborators trying to elevate their new show, with its deliberately small stories, to something akin to these old giants — but instead only underlines the affectionhas for the big, messy place that is Hollywood.
