Apple TV+'s 'WeCrashed' stars Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway in one of the best cringey dramas in recent memory. Our review:
WeCrashed begins at the end. As WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann is called into an emergency meeting about his company—which was once the third most valuable privately-owned company in the world—Neumann and his wife and business partner Rebekah Neumann stroll in with an air of overconfidence, as if they live in a world where their success is assured, even as their company is falling apart at the seams.
To present this personal bubble that Adam and Rebekah live in, WeCrashed treats this power couple's ideas as the way they see them in their own heads. Whenever the Neumanns come up with another crazy idea, the score swells, the joy is palpable, and even though the audience can’t believe the ridiculousness they’re hearing, WeCrashed shows the type of delusion these two live in and how they could believe the wildest ideas are actually great.
The absurdity of WeCrashed is what makes it a truly great cringe drama, as we watch this couple and this company fail upwards. Whenever it seems like the troubles can’t get any worse, a lifeline comes along at the right moment, which only serves to aggrandize the fundamental issues at the core of this story. Each episode serves to expand these characters and this WeWork world in truly fascinating ways.
Throughout WeCrashed, Rebekah tells Adam that he’s a supernova, a star that is making a difference. What Rebekah fails to mention—or maybe doesn’t understand—is that a supernova is born out of a catastrophic explosion. WeCrashed is a tremendous presentation of this explosion, one of the most thoroughly enjoyable dramas and laugh-out-loud comedies of the year so far, bolstered by two phenomenal performances by Leto and Hathaway.
