“The Eddy” is a critical ride, a show with scenes that moved me as much as anything on TV this year embedded in a narrative structure that often feels unrefined. It’s a show that I didn’t think I’d like at all after the first two hours and ended up almost loving at times. To be fair, Chazelle is laying some groundwork for what’s to come, but “The Eddy” doesn’t find its voice until episode three. What’s perhaps even more interesting is that the first two episodes are easily the weakest. It’s more the baby of Jack Thorne, who wrote all eight, and Glen Ballard, who composed original songs for the entire series. Netflix’s eight-part miniseries “The Eddy” has been billed as a major project for Damien Chazelle, the acclaimed filmmaker behind “ First Man,” “ La La Land,” and “ Whiplash,” but he only helmed the first two episodes.
