TV Series. Documentary America's most award-winning magazine comes to life in this new docu-series. Produced by Oscar & Emmy winner Alex Gibney, the pilot features a doc from Oscar winner Jonathan Demme based on Rachel Aviv's article "A Very Valuable Reputation," writer Ariel Levy interviewing artist Marina Abramovic, a sketch from Simon Rich and Alan Cumming, poetry read by Andrew Garfield, and cartoons by Emily Flake.

	Media	Author	Review
		Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News	"Watching the series is a bit like skipping through the magazine--a little of this, a little of that, always interesting."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"A nice addition if you already subscribe to Amazon, but similar fare exists elsewhere."
		Brian Lowry Variety	"Despite the involvement of documentary ace Alex Gibney, the effort comes across as a trifle dull."
