The real story is about the way the system allowed their misdeeds to continue unchecked year after year.
Eric Conn turned himself into a local hero, running colorful ads in the Kentucky and West Virginia area where he worked as a lawyer.
Sarah Carver and Jennifer Griffith in the Apple TV+ series “The Big Conn,” premiering Friday, May 6 on Apple TV+. While Conn and Judge David Dougherty make for memorable villains, the real story is about the way the system allowed their misdeeds to continue unchecked year after year. “The takeaway theme is about the consequences of ignoring a problem,” says Brian Lazarte, who co-created the series with James Lee Hernandez.
The key to the narrative was the heroics of two women, Sarah Carver and Jennifer Griffith. “The core of the series are Jennifer and Sarah and their absolute bravery in standing up to the U.S. government to try and right a wrong,” Hernandez says. “That reveals clearly that this was more than just fraud by some individuals, this was corruption at every level,” Griffith adds.
Even then, Carver and Griffith say, there were no repercussions for their higher-ups. “So what’s to deter people from doing this again?” Carver asks. The creators’ desire to tell the full story led to several challenges, one of which is that the bureaucratic problems at the heart of the case are far less entertaining than Conn’s antics. “Most people don’t even know that Social Security has a medical benefits side, so we tried a version of the first episode where we did a long dive into that but even we were falling asleep watching it,” Hernandez says.
