It is a dramatic series that captures the story of Roger Ailes, the founder of Fox News. The series attempts to shed light on Roger's life over the past decade, in which Ailes became an actual leader of the Republican Party. In the end, Roger's career ended with more charges of sexual harassment that ended his life and career.
Ailes is largely responsible for our nation's rapidly growing political divides, but watching "The Loudest Voice," you're struck by its "only in America" vibe; one that is both our greatest gift and our least resistant path to destruction.
Here comes the first television production directly dramatizing a modern-day, high-profile sexual harassment case - yet it does so in a way that almost feels like its own type of exploitation.
Every moment of catharsis you might feel while watching The Loudest Voice comes with a massive caveat. If you consider the battle over and won, then the loudest voice in the room will keep echoing from well beyond the grave.
At times, at least, the Showtime limited series produced by Blumhouse Television is a compelling, even artful, historical horror show out to remind viewers how "news" and politics were manipulated into the sorry state they're in today.
... More intent on probing the political and sociological impact of Fox News than the ferociously complicated psychology of the man who created it. It's a worthy mission, but it leaves the character at the center of the series at something of a distance.
We get the most obvious side to his story, along with the most repellent side. Perhaps that's ultimately - or grimly - fair, but it's not particularly balanced, or engaging.
As someone who is interested in how the xenophobic sausage is made, The Loudest Voice held my attention, but its bland approach can be more frustrating than it is fascinating.
