The final episode of Netflix's new conspiracy thriller The Madness sums up the show's theme in one sentence: "If you stir up the madness of the world, then that madness will eventually come back to bite you.

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.

The Madness isn't based on a true story, but Colman Domingo's character, Muncie Daniels, was inspired by aspects of real media pundits. His character working at CNN, a real US TV channel, adds extra authenticity to the idea of drawing on real life to form the narrative for the series.
