Media whiz Muncie Daniels must fight for his innocence and his life after stumbling upon a murder deep in the Poconos. Colman Domingo’s first starring role on television. Coleman Domingo is becoming my favorite actor. He can even turn reading a phone book into a compelling story. And it’s just as compelling as The Madness is right now. The dialogue is almost embarrassingly bad. It tries hard to seem stiff and trapped, but it comes across as very predictable and banal. From the very beginning, there is a lot in the story that defies common sense. I constantly find myself asking myself, “Why, why, why?!” So much so that after episode 2, I skipped episode 7 just to see what happened at the end. I’m convinced that in the episodes I skipped, there is little more than a lot of overblown storytelling and redundant dialogue.
