THE COUNCIL — Episode One: "FOLLY"

Horace Dodd

Three ancient beings sit at the edge of existence deciding whether humanity deserves to keep going. Cravoth thinks we're the funniest thing he's ever watched, in the worst way. Orrethis thinks there's more to the story. Neither is fully right, and that is the point.

Two weeks after the fourth episode of NIGHT DRIVE, Dodd opens a second series, and a very different one: a two-and-a-half-minute debate instead of a thriller, with the ideas doing the work that plot did before. Dodd says the arguments aren't necessarily his own; the aim was to build two outsiders with opposite instincts and let them argue the pros and cons of how we live, what we've built and what we've broken. It is the first of four parts, produced by Fable Showrunner and made in Dreamina.
