Sidney Lumet’s effective satire on a struggling television network that will stop at nothing to boost their ratings. This includes murder, terrorist reality programing, shady funding deals with Saudi Arabia, trashier reboots of Melrose Place and a Jay Leno variety shitshow. Oh wait, I got my networks mixed up (See: NBC, The CW). With all of the terrible things on television today this film is more relevant than ever. (I’m looking at you Real Housewives of Atlanta!)
