I would definitely watch that black comedy show, or at least the first few episodes. They'd have to have the reveal by the pilot climax to really keep my attention.

Honestly, I think a lot of histories stop at the end of the obvious action because the long-term effects are just so nebulous, long reaching, and poorly documented. Did you know there was a post-Civil War opium crisis and booming addiction cure industry? I didn't until fairly recently, because it's not something you ever really hear about. We hear war ended, slaves free, Lincoln dead, not f-ed up vets with PTSD and addiction.

God, now I wonder how many people in Salem who watched Grandma hang and lived in fear that they might be called out next had PTSD as well. Maybe they weren't just pissed off with Grandma's accusers; they were triggered by them. Well, there's a thought that will be in my head all day.
