Tale
Media pundit Muncie Daniels must fight for his innocence and his life after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos.. Colman Domingo’s first leading TV role.. From the outset, The Madness does little to hide the fact that it is not a TV series, but rather a critique of modern American society, particularly focusing on the influence of right-wing extremism and media manipulation. While these themes are relevant, their presentation often feels forced and didactic, leaving little room for subtlety or viewer interpretation. Despite a great performance by Daniels, his and many of the other characters are often reduced to stereotypes that fit neatly into the show’s ideological framework. A lack of nuance makes it difficult to engage with the characters on a deeper level, as they are primarily used to advance the show’s political agenda. The same people who find this show riveting, smart, and entertaining, are those who consider CNN journalism.
