The Show
Based on the titular graphic novel, this super hero satire finds a group of vigilantes attempting to expose the debauchery and violence behind the  carefully controlled corporate images of everyone’s favorite “supes.” Originally developed as a film in the late 2000s by Adam McKay, before ultimately becoming an Amazon Prime series showrun by Supernatural’s Eric Kripke. The pilot was directed by Dan Trachtenberg and shot by Jeff Cutter – the duo behind 10 Cloverfield Land, Prey and Predator: Badlands.
