Masters of Horror: “The Washingtonians”
Forty years ago, the premise of this episode would have been considered quite scandalous. Today it barely merits a mention in the local TV guide.
Indeed, it says something about the number of historical controversies Americans have been deluged with over the years that the episode manages to make a remarkably tasteless premise seem remarkably old hat. Even the ending seemed a bit more lame than one would expect from such a premise.
Oh, well. I really doubt that the world is ready for more splatterpunk versions of alternative history, anyway. However, this episode would make an interesting counterpart to the National Treasure series for those of you who have a pitch-dark sense of humor. Just don't watch it on February 22, please. Poor George has been through enough.
