The Premise is a five part, 30 minute anthology series streaming now in Australia on Binge. Created by B. J. Novak, it commenced streaming mid September. The fifth and final episode aired earlier this month. However I binged all five episodes in one evening.
Each episode tells a single character driven story about a current world issue. This series has been in the works since July 2019. FX ordered a two-episode pilot order for an anthology created by B. J. Novak and produced by FXP.
In May 2020, FX picked up the series.
Across all five episodes, Lucas Hedges, Kaitlyn Dever, Jon Bernthal, Boyd Holbrook, Ben Platt, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Daniel Dae Kim star.
With every episode being a new story (similar to American Horror Stories recently) it's a mixed bag. One episode is great, edge of your seat stuff (Moment of Silence) while others fall flat (Butt Plug).
I enjoyed these quick five, short stories. It's a bit of a hidden treasure on Binge. However in the USA it airs on FX on Hulu which really is kicking goals right now!
