Not my kind of series… but, I am happy Matt Bomer continues to achieve work!
The self contained episode anthology format is probably a good idea. Some of those American Horror Story seasons were really struggling to complete a full season. And that’s not a good thing when your “full season” is only 10-13 episodes.
As far as Matt Bomer goes… still think “White Collar” is the best thing he’s ever done. That show could have easily gone a few more years. And for you streaming fans… that entire show is now available on “The Roku Channel”. It’s also on Amazon’s IMBD TV, but I’m avoiding that one until I can figure out how to block the ads.

In a statement on the casting of Long, Michael producer Graham King expressed: “Beyond Nia’s incredible talent, I was deeply moved by her connection to the material and her commitment to honoring Katherine and the love she had for her son. Nia has delivered iconic performances throughout her career. I’ve been a fan for a long time because her characters stay with you. I’m excited to now work alongside her as she pours all of that into Katherine Jackson: a woman who was the glue, the rock, and the heart of the Jackson family during its best and its most turbulent times.”
Long echoed the sentiments of King, sharing: “Katherine Jackson is an incredible pillar of strength and grace for the entire Jackson family. As a mother, she was selfless and endured forces beyond her control yet still managed to help build a legacy beyond measure. I am honored to bring her voice to the screen and share Michael Jackson’s story with audiences everywhere.”
Nia will be in great acting company for the film that includes Best Actor Oscar nominee Coleman Domingo who will play Katherine’s husband and Michael’s father, Joe Jackson.
