[PortCityProphet]

This shi boring.
I dont even know whats going on.
Are all these people the children of the dude and rynona rider?
Matter fact dont even worry about answering it im bushing this

 

[HHR]

I'm still into but it's pretty heavy handed with the 2016 parallels to this point.

 

[TheAnointedOne]

gonna watch the first episode now

 

[Ezra]

Second up was a a little slow. But looks like it's all set up for shyt to start happening.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

What's with all these Jewish shows. Oh wait.

From creators David Simon and Ed Burns comes The Plot Against America, an alternate American history story of the country’s turn to fascism told through the eyes of a working-class Jewish family in New Jersey. Starring Zoe Kazan, Morgan Spector, Winona Ryder, and John Turturro, the limited series premieres on March 16th at 9PM.

Title made me think this was going to be about the Trump presidency

Title made me think this was going to be about the Trump presidency

This is based off a book written in 2002. It's pretty shocking how similar the themes in the book parallel to Trump's presidency.

 

[DrDealgood]

Slow start, but writing / directing / acting and period details good - ima give this another watch next week cos I think it's possibly gonna pop off now that

Spoiler

Trum--I mean Lindbergh won 1940.

Turturro with his Rabbi c00nin ass - like these hoes but even higher profile

 

[daemonova]

its pretty good, I like it

 

[richaveli83]

God damn the wife and youngest son are so damn annoying!

 

[Ciggavelli]

I like it so far

I was convinced that Winona Ryder was the female Keanu Reeves before, and this show doesn’t change that opinion.

She’s so fukking vacant; Like nobody is there. She’s a shell of a person.

 

[HHR]

Best episode yet tonight. Strong stuff.

 

[richaveli83]

Damn that rabbi is a big ass c00n!

I know the book was written a decade before Trump was elected and I'm not sure how far the series strays from the book but the parallels between the series and what has happened in the country in the past five years is incredible.

Damn that rabbi is a big ass c00n!

I know the book was written a decade before Trump was elected and I'm not sure how far the series strays from the book but the parallels between the series and what has happened in the country in the past five years is incredible.

If I didn't know it was based on a book, I would be complaining that it's too blatant.


Something about this show kind of reminds me of the old original "V" miniseries. Except, instead of Nazi lizard aliens, its Nazi...Nazis.
The Rabbi character reminds me a lot of some of the human "collaborator" characters in V.
