Through the excitement of that series that follows the portrayal for the historical backdrop of America on the eyes of a Jewish family lives in New Jersey, where they witness the political raising of Charles Lindbergh, who loathes foreigns and watch out for debasements in his governmental issues, as when he turns into a president, he takes the country to defilements and fascism.
How Simon escalates the story, and just how close to home the series hits, is yet to be seen. But "The Plot Against America" is off to a promising beginning - if not in content, then in form.
Simon and his writing partner... Ed Burns, are to be commended for not only fashioning such an engrossing and provocative drama, but also for assembling a top-to-bottom standout cast that makes the mesmerizing most of this potent material.
That was my feeling going in, a hesitance to spend even more time contemplating the clenching grip of fascism. But Simon and Burns, as they have done in the past, find a graceful path through the grimness.
Zoe Kazan of The Big Sick delivers a stunning performance as Herman's wife, Elizabeth, a pragmatist managing her family's disparate reactions to events and her own rising sense of panic.
Roth captured big, complicated ideas about a big complicated country. They're far too big for any screen. Sorry - even one as lovingly attended to as this one.
The ensemble cast is flawless too, totally convincing as real people of the period, with perfect pitch at the crucial turning points in the plot, and carrying that beguiling authenticity that characterises anything David Simon does.
