Movie #3434 "Douglas is Cancelled" (Brit Box) What a whirlwind of words this miniseries is offered in just 4 episodes. It deals with two hosts of a morning show (kind of like the Today Show in England) -- one older guy and a younger girl. They seem to get along fine on the show and even in between commercial breaks and off in their offices. But at a recent party, he is caught telling an inappropriate joke and it goes viral. We don't know what the joke is or who it concerns until halfway through --- but we watch the consequences in trying to deal with the situation. There's a producer of the show involved, the two on air talents, and his family. (the daughter is pretty funny). There is some humor along the way, and the one air male plays the father in Downton Abbey. The show is kind of fast, but consists of a wonderful debate on feminism. This competent cast made it hard for me to look away - I found I was hanging on every word. Well don!~ I'd give it 4.5 out of 5.
