Fire and Fury Trump White House TV series should model itself after Game of Thrones

Variety

With Michael Wolff’s bestselling book slated to hit the small screen, Variety's Sonia Saraiya sees some startling similarities between its depiction of the Trump White House and the world of the HBO mega-hit. “The show that Fire and Fury is most like is HBO’s Game of Thrones,” she says. “The fantasy-drama series is about the dysfunctional inner dynamics of the most powerful families in the world, and how those relationships intersect with the power and policy governing an entire nation. Wolff creates a narrative footnoted by stints in Ivy League institutions and tours in multinational corporations, which may as well be their own ultra-privileged fantasy world. Even the title evokes A Song of Ice and Fire, with its florid elementals; Wolff’s own name seems cribbed from the fan site westeros.net.”
