Make docudramas about Hurricane Maria and Flint and maybe Republicans or Elon Musk will finally provide the money to fix that poo poo instead of car tunnels or aircraft carriers.


I really recommend the official podcast because it clarifies questions like this (yeah he wasn't at the trial, but yes it was 20 kilometers from the reactor).

Heh, you have a really high opinion of Republicans

I'd like to see a miniseries based on the coal miners strikes during the 1910's and 20's. Or maybe one just focusing on the Battle of Blair Mountain.

In the Russian version a downed CIA pilot stalks the poor hikers and kills them one by one. Also, the CIA created a Yeti in the lab and let it lose.

I'm reminded a bit of the old German film Das Boot, which was all about the squalid conditions aboard a German U Boat, as well as what it was like to be a common German soldier at the mercy of German military leadership.

...and paid and scheduled a dozen or so actors for a 5-episode miniseries, with each of them chiming in with a seperate field of expertise that an audience of non-experts would have a hard time to parse.

When I type that out, I honestly figure that a single character to represent them all was moreso made to save production costs and also to summarise their joint findings.

reading that you are right, maybe in a 10 season or whatever the scientific part would have more time to breath, in 5 episodes they had to condense

The flaws of Emily Watson’s character are the same as the finale’s: the show transitions into fiction that is no longer moored by the engaging if gruesome details of the disaster and its response.

A series about Hiroshima & Nagasaki with the production/direction quality of Chernobyl could be incredible. Especially if they could work this guy in to it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Yamaguchi

wikipedia posted:

At 11 am on August 9, Yamaguchi was describing the blast in Hiroshima to his supervisor, when the American bomber Bockscar dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb over the city. His workplace again put him 3 km from ground zero, but this time he was unhurt by the explosion.[7] However, he was unable to replace his now ruined bandages and he suffered from a high fever and continuous vomiting for over a week

This man would of course be played by Jared Harris.

I panicked and looked it up, but ACS is still on with multiple seasons forecast, it's just the Katrina topic that was scrapped

quote:

On American Crime Story, Landgraf noted that there are four ideas on the table, but he doesn’t know which one will go first. “There’s the likelihood that they’ll all be produced over time,” he said.

However, you can nix the long-gestating Katrina version which was going to be Murphy’s sociological and human rights study on how New Orleans went sideways at the hands of city corruption during the hurricane. We hear that Scott Rudin, who own the rights to the Five Days at Memorial’ book, on which the most recent version of the Katrina ACS installment was based, may shop the project elsewhere.

Landgraf noted that several of the ideas are “in advanced stages. “I’m very optimistic that we will have something in the next couple of years, and I’m optimistic that we will have multiple more cycles of that show,” he told Deadline.
