In a TV and movie landscape that can often feel bogged down by reboots and a dependency on IP, Dead Ringers pulls off a minor miracle. The Amazon Prime Video series is based on the 1988 David Cronenberg movie of the same name but doesn’t exist to remind viewers of the past, instead it using the story as a vessel into which writer Alice Birch has poured big ideas about the state of the American healthcare system — specifically how it treats mothers.

BreAnna Bell There were big shoes to fill when Alice Birch decided to recreate “Dead Ringers” as a limited series for Amazon Prime Video. But she didn’t set out to tell the same story as David Cronenberg’s 1988 thriller. Instead, she opted to use the close and often times dark relationship between her twin protagonists Beverly and Elliot (both played by Rachel Weisz) as a foundation to take a deeper look at the American healthcare system and the ways it potentially fails mothers. It’s an incredibly complex system to investigate. But as Birch, a native Brit, explores topics in “Dead Ringers” like the American maternal mortality rate, the history of obstetrics studies and postpartum depression through the lens of the country’s fictitious most-prized and talented OB-GYNs, a central theme of inequality becomes clear.
