The story of Roger Ailes, head of Fox News and his atrocious behavior as a man. Set during the election cycle of 2016 when Megyn Kelly was a massively popular anchor and Gretchen Carlson was suing Ailes personally (her Fox contract had an arbitration only clause). Carlson's entire case was predicated on additional women coming forward to corroborate her claim of sexual harassment. Here, the Carlson story, while driving the plot, is secondary to Kelly. Really we are watching Kelly struggle with the awful choice between career and personal integrity. Her struggle is with the Ailes scenario as well as her very public interactions with Trump on the election circuit. This is cringe inducing drama. No new ideas here - but really puts power and sexuality and fear right in your face.
4 stars (out of 5)
