Colman Domingo delivers a modern-day "The Fugitive"-style paranoid thriller with Netflix's new limited series "The Madness." The "Rustin" and "Euphoria" star takes on the role of Muncie Daniels, a lauded CNN commentator who finds his spotlight turned against him when he stumbles onto the dead body of a high-profile white supremacist and winds up getting framed for the crime.

There’s just one problem: while Domingo acquits himself just fine as an increasingly frenzied man on the lam, “The Madness” itself is a schlocky mess, its pulpy appeal dimmed by a drawn-out runtime and attempts at social commentary that fail to find their mark.

Netflix’s new miniseries The Madness isn’t about the events of Jan. 6, 2021. But show creator Stephen Belber explains how the unsettling events of the Capitol insurrection that day had a direct impact on the creation of the conspiracy-tinged thriller.
