Dead Ringers review: Rachel Weisz delivers a stunning performance playing identical twin doctors
In Alice Birch’s six-part adaptation of David Cronenberg’s 1988 film, Rachel Weisz plays the role of gynecologist dealing with childbirth and fertility innovations.
A still from Dead Ringers[/caption]The series Dead Ringers gives an unconventional, contemporary twist on David Cronenberg’s 1988 thriller of the same name, except this time it is about female twin doctors. The show can be mentally taxing and disturbing too and if you are unable to deal with blood and the sight of gory surgery, then this show is definitely not for your faint heart. Despite all the darkness, Dead Ringers is a compelling drama that gives a new way of looking at the 1988 film with a modern perspective. The humour too is dark. The show has a definite identity of its own and a must watch.
