Documentarian Alex Gibney branched out into scripted entertainment this year by directing (in part) and producing this 10-episode Hulu miniseries, which also marks the streaming service's latest foray into prestige television territory. Adapted from Lawrence Wright’s Pulitzer-winning book by Dan Futterman (Capote), Tower portrays the events leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks—concentrating on the failure by both the FBI and CIA to prevent them. Jeff Daniels, Peter Sarsgaard, Tahar Rahim, Michael Stuhlbarg, Bill Camp, and Alec Baldwin star.
“Instead of being heavily self-important, The Looming Tower is swift and urgent, with an outstanding cast and zingy writing.” —Kristi Turnquist, The Oregonian
