David Harewood (Homeland) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) play feuding political rivals in James Graham’s (Sherwood) multiple award-winning new drama. In 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal. During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered nation.
“Shortcomings takes some bruising blows at cultural expectations ... it’s also about growing up a little too late.” Nick Allen, Roger Ebert.com.
“Past Lives feels so deliciously restrained that it makes even quiet dramas seem histrionic. And yet it’s a wide emotional field that gives its characters room to breathe ...
Set in 1967 in the rough-and-tumble Dublin neighborhood of Ballygar, three close friends’ (Maggie Smith, Agnes O’Casey, and Kathy Bates) dream of winning a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. With a little benevolent interference from their priest, and an unexpected traveling companion (Laura Linney), they take a journey in search of a miracle.
