Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Errol Morris makes a welcome detour into scripted fare with this six-part Netflix miniseries that follows two brothers' twist-filled, six-decade investigation into the mysterious death of their father—an event that is tied to the CIA's secret LSD and mind control experiments. It's based on a true story, and it incorporates interviews with real people into scripted scenes starring Peter Sarsgaard alongside Molly Parker, Tim Blake Nelson, Bob Balaban, Michael Chernus, Jack O’Connell, Christian Camargo, and Scott Shepherd. The series will premiere in its entirety at the Venice Film Festival next week.
