The Paparazzi
Ryan Howell’s Art Deco unit set with the outline of the Chrysler Building gives the story a midtown feel but does not make clear when all this is happening. The costumes by Cathy Small are credible casual wear but are rather too bland to define the characters except for high-powered Betty.

With no references to the internet or social media, "The Paparazzi" seems like it is taking place several decades ago but the program insists that this is all happening now in 2026. [more]
