Colman Domingo Propels Phenomenally Entertaining “The Madness”
Netflix waited until Thanksgiving to drop its best original series since “Ripley” earlier this year, a very different kind of thriller featuring another magnetic performance from the incredible Colman Domingo. A cleverly modern riff on “The Fugitive,” “The Madness” is a show about a TV journalist who has been a part of our increasingly insane…
Solid Acting Saves the Familiar Premise of “Get Millie Black”
