Margot Robbie

Review with Myles Barlow – Dickheads

  • Title: Review with Myles Barlow – Stealing, Dickheads, Risk
  • IMDb: link

As Margot Robbie Week continues, we turn out attention to her performance on the first episode of the short-lived series Review with Myles Barlow starring Phil Lloyd as a television journalist who reviews real-life experiences which often allow him to partake in deplorable behavior. In the opening episode he covers the increasing thrill received from stealing and exploring the idea of risk by becoming a drug mule. It’s in the middle segment, however, where we find Margot Robbie as one of a small group of young women taken advantage of by Myles and his dickhead friend Russell (Russell Benson) whose oafish behavior eventually rubs on off him. Rooted in dark humor, he show is a curiosity more than anything else with some segments working better than others, but  it does provide some humorous, if completely ridiculous, moments along the way.
