With the election just eight days away, you may be either looking for something to completely distract you or engage in storytelling that smartly and thoughtfully addresses the pressing issues of our time, unlike some of the things we see all the time in the news. day. If you are in the second camp, Netflix’s new series Madness It might be for you.

Led by an Oscar nominee Colman Domingo, Madness It’s a thriller that could only be born in our current political climate. The show synopsis reads: “Muncie Daniels (Domingo) is a political consultant turned TV commentator who may have lost his way in life. During a sabbatical in the Poconos to write the great American novel, Muncie finds himself the sole witness to the murder of a prominent white supremacist and is now accused of the crime. Muncie is forced to embark on a desperate fight to clear his name and uncover a global conspiracy before time runs out. Along the way, he will reconnect with his family, find unlikely allies, and fight against disinformation in the post-truth age.”



“See what they’re doing to me? I feel like I can’t breathe,” Muncie says in the short teaser, before several images of the murder flash across the screen. As the character continues to run away (right in the middle of a pretty cool title design), a different voice says, “They’re going to bring this all down on you.” .

“Everything about this conspiracy thriller had me excited,” Domingo said. said I kept it of the series. “He was a unique hero that I had never seen or experienced before. Someone with pretty centrist beliefs, and now they’re being pushed out into the world to believe something really firmly and to re-examine the people they believe are their potential enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you initially thought. I think that says a lot about who we are now and what we want to do; “It also looks at who is actually pulling the strings and whose benefit it is.”

Madness Also starring Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham, John Ortiz, Tamsin Topolski and TJ Mixson. The eight-episode series will be released on Netflix on November 28.
