Synopsis
Hollywood (2020) is a Netflix limited series you can watch online on iFILM, created by Ryan Murphy. The ensemble includes David Corenswet, Darren Criss, Laura Harrier, Jeremy Pope, Jim Parsons, Queen Latifah, Mira Sorvino, and Holland Taylor.
Set in post-war Hollywood, the show follows a group of young actors and filmmakers trying to break into an industry built on exclusion. The system they run into trades in roles, crushes outsiders, and rewards compliance. Murphy's twist: the series plays out as an alternate history, asking what would have happened if the studios had made different choices on race, sexuality, and who gets to hold creative power.
Six episodes. Murphy mixes real figures — Rock Hudson, Anna May Wong — with invented characters and lets history bend toward a more just version of itself. Whether that reads as wish fulfillment or pointed commentary depends on what you bring to it. Stream Hollywood (2020) online on iFILM.
