Am i the only one who finds this pointless? Like the Tiger King series i have no interest after watching the actual docos!
Hmmm two Hollywood A-Listers in a limited-run series? Hopefully it’s not another “The Undoing”. A classic space filler where watching the first and last episode was all you needed to understand what was going on.
The Staircase is three documentaries by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, the first of which won an IDA and a Peabody. They are available as a 13 episode series on Netflix and are one of the few actual pieces of “must see TV”. The first season of Trial and Error is a spoof of it. Yet under guild rules, Campos gets a “created by” credit for the miniseries.
