Program Description

Description

Monk is a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment featuring tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness that he claims to disdain. The all-star cast includes Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Leslie Uggams, Erika Alexander, John Ortiz, and Adam Brody.
