Wormwood
Errol Morris's enthralling Wormwood, a six-part, 258-minute miniseries produced by Netflix, debuts in December.
Part documentary and part drama, Wormwood is a multilayered account of Eric Olson, a man who's devoted decades of his life to unraveling the mysterious death of his father, a U.S. Army scientist. Yet, Wormwood also typifies the sort of intricate, discursive storytelling favored by a new generation that doesn't always want to sit in a dark theater for a fixed amount of time.
