TV critic DAVID BIANCULLI reviews “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” a new eight-part TV series on Apple TV, based on the 2024 novel by Rufi Thorpe. It stars Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Groban and Meryl Streep are just a few of the artists featured in Take Me to the World, a tribute to the iconic Broadway composer and lyricist.

The original series, which debuted in 1990, leaned heavily on current news stories. The new show does the same. Its debut episode centers on the crimes of a TV personality reminiscent of Bill Cosby.
