Based on the novel by Philip Roth, ‘The Plot Against America’ chronicles an alternative universe where “Charles Lindbergh defeats Franklin D Roosevelt in the 1940 United States presidential election.”
With the rise of fascism, xenophobia and the politics of hate – kind of sounds like our world today – David Simon and Ed Burns have adapted a sharp, compelling and cautionary tale that has been executed by an ensemble cast inWinona Ryder, Anthony Boyle, Zoe Kazan, Morgan Spector, Michael Kostroff, David Krumholtz & John Turturro.
HBO’s limited series have been on a roll and the fact that they’re making an effort to release companion podcasts shows that TV studios are serious about the platform. Looking forward to episode two!
