One of our critics says a series snubbed by the Emmys features 'dark weirdness'
, adapted by David Simon and Ed Burns from Philip Roth’s novel, was nearly completely overlooked by the Emmys, receiving just a single nomination, for Martin Ahlgren’s cinematography. The TV Academy has always been a little lukewarm when it comes to the work of Simon — “The Wire” got a whopping two writing nominations and zero wins over five seasons, while the excellentabout the fight over a public housing project in suburban New York, was completely snubbed.
Whatever the reasons for its exclusion , “The Plot Against America” deserves more attention from viewers. In this chilling work of alternate history, famed aviator and Nazi apologist Charles Lindbergh is elected president in 1940, keeps the United States out of World War II and enables Hitler to continue his conquest of Europe unimpeded.
Like much of Simon’s work, “The Plot Against America” is initially slow, devoted to establishing a world through quietly observed social realism rather than in-your-face action. But once Lindbergh lands in the White House and upends the lives of the Levins and their Jewish community, the series moves with disorienting speed.
It can be hard finding anything to sing about these days, but this musical dramedy can bring a dose of joy — even while making you weep. Created by Austin Winsberg , the series stars Jane Levy as Zoey Clarke, a computer coder who develops the ability to hear the thoughts and emotions of the people around her — her family, friends, co-workers, even strangers — through.
