‘The Young Darcy Mysteries’ isn’t a real show, but ‘Platonic,’ I need it to be

Seth Rogen has his finger on the pulse when it comes to satirizing all things Hollywood. Not only is he the face (and co-creator) of the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ comedy The Studio, which hilariously spoofs the art versus commerce of La La Land, but he’s also the co-star of Platonic, another critically heralded L.A.-centric comedy series from Apple TV+. But jokes aside, there’s a spinoff show I need Rogen and Platonic‘s creators Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco to make happen. 

Episode 8 offers a fake TV show I need to become real. 

This fictional show-within-a show is called The Young Darcy Mysteries, and it’s a conceit so good that I’m shocked Apple TV+ hasn’t already produced it. You like Jane Austen? You like Sherlock Holmes? Great. Here’s a series that has the potential to scratch that romance and murder mystery itch, which frankly can never be truly satisfied.
