As the world continues to struggle with prolonged self-isolation and economic uncertainty, there is nothing most of us want more than to get out and back to the regular swing of things. Fortunately, for those of us who still enjoy access to the Internet and television networks at home, HBO has provided us with a perfect source of escapism and entertainment in the form of Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson and the new seven-episode, genre-defying series Run costarring Emmy winner Merritt Wever (Godless, Nurse Jackie).
A refreshing breakaway from the sci-fi, crime-drama and fantasy serials that have dominated television for multiple seasons now, the half-hour romcom-thriller Run, written and produced by Vicky Jones, follows a married woman named Ruby Richardson (Wever) whose humdrum life is thrown upside down when she leaves the suburbs and makes a dash for her college sweetheart, Billy Johnson (Gleeson), after receiving a text from him with the word “Run” - a pact they made 17 years prior, with the promise that if either one of them texted the word “Run” and the other replied with the same, they would drop everything and meet in Grand Central Station and embark on a cross-country journey by train.
Recurring guest stars include Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG winner, Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) as Laurel, a woman who Ruby and Billy meet on their journey; Rich Sommer (Mad Men) as Laurence, Ruby’s husband; Tamara Podemski (Coroner) as police detective Babe Cloud and Archie Panjabi (HBO’s upcoming I Know This Much Is True, The Good Wife) as Fiona, Billy’s former P.A.
