Paramount Plus’s eight-episode reboot of the 1987 film blockbuster Fatal Attraction promised, albeit gently, to offer more insight into Alex Forrest, the never-to-be-ignored femme fatale originally played by Glenn Close. In both iterations, a single-minded scorned lover terrorizes her married paramour, Dan Gallagher, as well as his wife and daughter, after a brief affair. In Close’s capable hands, Alex was sexy and self-assured, and undeniably threatening. The role inaugurated no less than a cultural zeitgeist, wherein the phantasmagoria of a desperate working woman who fears she may never marry or have a child elevated these anxieties into an enduring cultural panic. The reboot has none of these problems nor does it, alas, have any of the original’s potential.
