City Script [exclusive] — Mad

★★★☆☆ (3/5) – Worth reading for its prescient themes, but less memorable than the classics it aspires to.

Overall Verdict: A compelling, if heavy-handed, cautionary tale about the 24-hour news cycle’s hunger for spectacle. The script sets up a brilliant moral dilemma but struggles with tonal inconsistency and an underwhelming final act. mad city script
