Woody Allen delivers tired 'Crisis in Six Scenes' for Amazon


Los Angeles (CNN) "I'm not sure where to begin," Woody Allen said of the idea of doing TV when Amazon announced he would create his first series for the service. What he ended up producing -- "Crisis in Six Scenes," a tired comedy that feels entirely phoned in, as if pieced together from snippets of Allen's old movies -- shows just how true that was. The only conceit of any note is that the six-episode series is that it's set in the 1960s, drawing upon the polarized nature of the period. Enter Lenny (Cyrus), a Patty Hearst-like revolutionary and former family friend of Kay's who, as a fugitive, takes refuge in their suburban home. Lenny, meanwhile, charms Kay -- so much so that she introduces the writings of Mao at her book club.
