Episode 1: "The Insanity Principle: How Extremism in Politics is Threatening Democracy in the 21st Century"

Headline from DU!

Ridley Scott is an executive producer (among notable others!). This could get brilliantly satirical!!!

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is one of our more interesting actors, too!
