June Squibb stars in a sci-fi family drama with more questions than emotions

For all the grief boiling over in Marjorie Prime, I walked away yearning to be more thoroughly wounded. But Harrison’s script is less interested in piercing the heart than it is the mind. It’s much too busy prodding at the bounds of humanity. What makes us who we are? How much can we rely on technology? Can it soothe us, numb us, replace us completely? Marjorie Prime offers few clear-cut answers, but does make one thing clear: There is no replacement for the power of human love and connection. And the absence of that is what keeps this show from truly leaving a mark on its crowd.
