“捕捞和杀戮：播客磁带”为罗南·法罗（Ronan Farrow）的报告提供了优雅的展示：电视评论
‘Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes’ Provides an Elegant Showcase for Ronan Farrow’s Reporting: TV Review
罗南·法罗（Ronan Farrow）关于哈维·温斯坦（Harvey Weinstein）的报道，首先是他在2017年在《纽约客》（New Yorker）的报道，然后他对他在2019年的著作《捕捞和杀戮》（Catch and Kill）中获得的故事的掌握有助于结晶并定义了美国文化生活的一刻。 Farrow随着新的纪录片系列“ Catch and Kill：The Podcast录像带”进行了放大，继续讲述Weinstein的掠夺的故事，以及他试图取消认真的新闻询问的尝试。许多潜在的观众将熟悉这一点。正如该节目的标题所暗示的那样，该系列（由芬顿·贝利（Fenton Bailey）和兰迪·巴巴托（Randy Barbato）执导 - 是Farrow播客的衍生产品，本身就是“ Catch and Kill”书的衍生品。任何熟悉的人都将重新审视他们以前遇到的故事。然而，作为新观众的入门，这是HBO的一项值得一提的节目，它使温斯坦的可怕行为和他在公众视野中的邪恶行动都保持更长的节奏。“捕捞和杀戮”的故事是一部固有的戏剧：法row是NBC新闻中的雄心勃勃的调查记者，当该组织将他拒绝故事时，他对哈维·温斯坦的报道就停止了。 Farrow将这个故事带到了New Yorker，该故事与他合作，将故事发表了 - 在本系列中，我们遇到了整个终点线的编辑和事实检查员。 （直到今天，Farrow仍然与《纽约客》（New Yorker）在一起 - 最近与布兰妮·斯皮尔斯（Britney Spears）的保护统治共同写作 - 但这里的重点仍然紧密地放在温斯坦的故事上。在他在网络上准备时出版；对于那些遵循这个故事并讲述的人讲述的人来说，毫无疑问，关于这份报道终于在电视上播出的报道终于在电视上播出。法罗（Farrow）持续报道这个故事在故事中，这个故事的建议是，NBC容易受到温斯坦的影响力。他还分享了他在报告期间得到监视的程度 - 所有人都足够着迷，甚至可以随身携带阅读本书或听到播客的观众，这从根本上讲，这个故事非常消耗，结合了一个伟大的怪物最近有挫折和新闻业的历史 - 即使不是一贯的电信。 （例如，本节目中介绍的许多访谈包括叠加讲话者的静止照片的声音，暗示了该项目作为音频作品的起源。例如，从意大利模型Ambra Gutierrez的电线中获得的音频开始，当时她将他记录在2015年的性行为不端行为中，然后后来又回到了Farrow如何获得音频。该系列也值得称赞迄今为止，其他记者也在案件中：简短但重复提及《纽约时报》的乔迪·坎托（Jodi Kantor）和梅根·两人（Megan Twiphey）的作品，并与纽约人的记者肯·奥鲁塔（Ken Auletta）度过了很多时间不能将温斯坦固定在2002年的罪行中，虽然他可能会尝试。他是一个引人入胜的存在，在聚光灯下的安慰，也许他找到自己的能力可以使他的工作中坚韧不拔，无情的本质相对应。他立刻是一位有才华的记者和一位有才华的发言人，他的报道是一套偶然的特征，其频率少于人们想象的。因此，这个HBO系列为Farrow过去的作品提供了优雅的展示，并为他用“ Catch and Kill Kill”完成的现象事物提供了胜利。如果您这样做，则与Kantor和Twehey的书《她说》一起。Weinstein的故事首先被他们打破了，Farrow在以下故事中提供了重要的佐证和关键细节，这可能只会引起一个小圈子，但值得注意的是。更重要的是，Kantor和Tookhey拥有与Weinstein打交道并从受害者那里寻求真相的经验。在导致他倒台的那一刻，“捕捞和杀人”和“她说的”一起提供了对温斯坦的新闻回应的完整图片。以自己的条件为例，是一种研究Farrow在故事中的作品“ Catch and Kill：The Podcast磁带”的方式，值得一看任何想开始了解这一历史的人。录像带” 7月12日星期一晚上9点首次亮相E.T./P.T。在HBO上
Ronan Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein — first his coverage in The New Yorker in 2017, then his metacoverage of what it took to get that story in his 2019 book “Catch and Kill” — helped to crystallize and define a moment in American cultural life. With the new documentary series “Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes,” Farrow amplifies that work, continuing to tell both the story of Weinstein’s predations and of his attempts to quash serious journalistic inquiry.
This will be familiar to many potential viewers. As the show’s title suggests, this series — directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato — is a spinoff of Farrow’s podcast, itself a spinoff of the “Catch and Kill” book. Anyone familiar with either will be revisiting a story they’ve encountered before. And yet as a primer for a new audience, this is a worthwhile bit of programming from HBO, keeping both Weinstein’s monstrous behavior and his nefarious operations behind-the-scenes in the public eye for a beat longer.
The “Catch and Kill” story is one with a certain inherent drama: Farrow was an ambitious investigative reporter within NBC News, whose reporting on Harvey Weinstein came to a halt when the organization called him off the story. Farrow took that story to the New Yorker, which worked with him to get the story published — and, in this series, we meet the editors and fact-checkers who got it across the finish line. (Farrow remains with the New Yorker to this day — recently co-writing a piece on Britney Spears' conservatorship — but the focus here remains tightly on the Weinstein story.)
NBC News and Farrow have publicly quibbled over the degree to which it was ready for publication when he was preparing it at the network; there's certainly something cathartic, for those who've followed the story and Farrow's telling of it, about this reporting finally coming to be aired on TV after his attempt to report it for the medium got cancelled. Farrow’s ongoing coverage of the story behind the story carries with it the suggestion that NBC was susceptible to an influence campaign by Weinstein. He also shares the degree to which he himself was surveilled during his reporting — all fascinating enough to carry along even viewers who've read the book or heard the podcast.
This is, fundamentally, a story that’s eminently consumable, combining a great monster of recent history with setbacks and journalistic derring-do — even if it’s not consistently telegenic. (Many interviews presented on this show, for instance, consist of voices overlaying still photographs of the person speaking, suggestive of this project’s origins as a work of audio.) But if it’s somewhat visually limited, the series does interesting things with structure: It begins, for instance, with the audio obtained from Italian model Ambra Gutierrez’s wire when she recorded him in acts of sexual misconduct in 2015, and only later circles back to how Farrow obtained the audio. The series, to its credit, also acknowledges, if glancingly, that other reporters were on the case: It makes brief but repeated mention of the work of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey of the New York Times, and spends a great deal of time with Ken Auletta, the New Yorker reporter who couldn’t pin Weinstein on his crimes in 2002, try though he might.
Farrow, like Kantor and Twohey, completed the task Auletta (and surely countless others) attempted. He is a compelling presence whose comfort in the spotlight, and, perhaps, his ability to find himself in it, can exist in intriguing counterpoint to the gritty, relentless nature of his work. He’s at once a gifted reporter and a gifted spokesperson for his own reporting, a set of traits that coincides less frequently than one might think. And so this HBO series provides an elegant showcase for Farrow’s past work and a sort of victory lap for the phenomenal things he accomplished with “Catch and Kill.”
The only note I’d add is that it’s worth consuming this series, if you do, in conjunction with Kantor and Twohey’s book “She Said.” That the Weinstein story was broken first by them, with Farrow providing significant corroboration and key details in following stories, may be of interest to only a small circle, but it deserves to be noted; more crucially, Kantor and Twohey had their own experience of dealing with Weinstein and seeking the truth from his victims. Together, “Catch and Kill” and “She Said” provide a complete picture of the journalistic response to Weinstein in the moments leading up to his downfall. Taken on its own terms as a way of examining Farrow’s part in the story, “Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes” is worth watching for anyone who wants to begin to understand this bit of very recent history.
"Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes" debuts Monday, July 12 at 9 p.m. E.T./P.T. on HBO
