“Dead Ringers” Review: Rachel Weisz Playing Dysfunctional Twins in This Gory, Glorious Queer Nightmare Has Ruined Me

This series is the gold standard for how gender-swapping adaptations should function; it should feel intentional and be an additive and expansive choice, not mere surface-level detail.
