I have been watching Apple TV+ Palm Royale and find it to be such a fantastic escape.
From the costumes, the sets and hilarity of the cast is a treat. How adorable is Kristin Wiig in the cute mini dresses and big hair? She looks great with a spray tan, haha. I’ve never been to Palm Beach, but I’d love to visit during this era!
Why It’s Worth Watching
- Kristen Wiig shines in her first lead TV role since SNL.
- The cast is stacked with Emmy and Oscar winners.
- The visuals are pure eye candy—vintage Florida glam, bold colors, and 60s/70s aesthetics.
Maxine Simmons
Kristen Wiig portrays Maxine Dellacorte Simmons, a cunning woman who manipulates her way into Palm Beach’s elite circles.
Despite her facade, Maxine hides a humble origin as an orphan from Chattanooga, Tennessee, who briefly tasted fame as a beauty pageant winner.
Desperate for a taste of true luxury, she navigates the superficial world of Palm Beach, concealing her past beneath a veneer of glamour and sophistication.
