Sterling Point Episode 1 Review: A Millennial's Playful Take on Inheritance and Teen Drama

The Prime Video series Sterling Point, created by Megan Park, known for My Old Ass, premiered with an episode titled 'But I Just Took an Ambien.' The show follows Annie, a New York teenager who inherits her grandfather's island in Canada, a premise that the reviewer finds both relatable and entertaining. The review, written in a stream-of-consciousness style, highlights the show's blend of teen drama and wit, comparing it favorably to The Summer I Turned Pretty but with more bite. The episode features an Olivia Rodrigo needle drop, a cast including actors from Transparent and Grey's Anatomy, and a plot involving adoption, a familial mystery, and a potential half-sister. The reviewer notes the show's depiction of affluent teens traveling to Ibiza, Greece, and Thailand, and comments on the unrealistic flight time from New York to Toronto. The review also mentions the appearance of Missi Pyle and a reference to Kaia Gerber. The series is set to explore themes of inheritance, family secrets, and teenage identity, with a tone that balances humor and drama. The review is published on Vogue's website.
