This time, the series comes with a significant amount of expectation, as it brings the acclaimed Errol Morris into the Netflix family with a six-part series that blends documentary filmmaking with fictionalized accounts of the CIA’s experiments with LSD and mind control in the MK-Ultra program that ultimately led to the death of a man named Frank Olson.
Netflix is ramping up its marketing for Wormwood, yet another original series premiering in December.
With the added muscle of Morris and the series’ impressive cast behind it, Wormwood appears like a worthy binge-watch before the holidays.
The series is an investigation into the circumstances of a death that was ruled a suicide, though, as Olson’s son alleges, may have been murder.
