Colman Domingo’s first major role on television
Scenario
Media expert Muncie Daniels must fight for his innocence and his life after he stumbles upon a murder in the Poconos.
Although these themes are relevant, their presentation often feels stilted and didactic, leaving little room for subtlety or interpretation by the audience
From the very beginning, “Insanity” does little to hide the fact that it is not a television series, but rather a critique of modern American society, in particular, focused on the influence of right-wing extremism and the manipulation of mass media.
Despite Daniels’ excellent performance, he and many other characters are often reduced to stereotypes that fit neatly into the ideological framework of the show
The lack of nuance makes it difficult to engage with the characters on a deeper level, as they are primarily used to advance the show’s political agenda.
