Scenario
Media whiz 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. Coleman Domingo is becoming my favorite actor. He can really make reading the phone book a compelling story. And it’s about as compelling as The Madness right now. The dialogue is almost embarrassingly bad. They try so hard to be snappy and snappy, but it just comes across as predictable and cheesy. From the beginning, there’s so much in the story that defies even the most basic common sense. I’m constantly asking myself ‘why, why, why?!’ So much so that after episode 2, I skipped episode 7 just to see what happens in the end. I have no doubt that there’s little more than a lot of over-the-top storytelling and superfluous dialogue in the episodes I skipped.
