News Summary

• Netflix’s “ Office Romance ” is the story of a repressed but successful CEO who feels like she isn’t allowed to show her full self at work.
• “Office Romance’ just so happens to star Jennifer Lopez, a hyper-charismatic Latina whose screen persona has sometimes been hampered by the roles that white Hollywood will let her play.
• This summer trifle lacks the charm, wit, or chemistry needed to spark into anything special, but it holds together because of how satisfyingly Lopez takes Jackie from a buttoned-up nepo baby smothered by her job to an unfettered executive who finds new authority in being herself.
