However, the filmmakers' assumption that the audience knows these women also informs the series' slightness in some areas, especially throughout the first two episodes.

And while these details don't ruin the first season's adequate conclusion, where the pair collaborated to avert the Apocalypse, the second's overall slightness is an insufficient argument for the story's continuation.

The docu-dramedy “Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game” tells a low-stakes story with an accomplished cast, an appropriately light tone and enough energy to compensate for its slightness.

There’s a slightness to the plot — “Flight” occasionally feels padded out, with gratuitous, tacked-on scenes — but Strong milks the high moments, such as a quarrel that erupts during a game of cards.

The same Mia Farrow whose slightness made her a pixie-cut icon in “Rosemary’s Baby,” looking utterly vulnerable to the encroaching forces of evil.
