HBO SERIES TO WATCH OUT FOR IN MAY Marisa Cutillas previews a handful of series that should be top scorers on HBO very soon.
THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA
If you love historical dramas with a dose of fantasy, then this series will be right up your street. The Plot Against America, based on the Philip Roth bestseller, imagines what would have happened if World War II had ended differently. The story is told through the eyes of a humble Jewish family that watches the political rise of Charles Lindbergh – an aviator and xenophobic populist who persuades his country to embrace fascism. The series was created by David Simon and Ed Burns of The Wire and Generation Kill – two highly acclaimed shows. Starring in The Plot Against America are John Turturro, Winona Ryder and Zoe Kazan.
