Deb Lacusta

1940s Los Angeles. Femme fatales. The Polish mob. Murder. Jewish Detective and caterer Marlowe Phillips must find the missing Fishfeld, even as he battles his demons of feeling trapped and isolated – from his past in a German POW camp to an impending marriage to his secretary. Classic noir collides with the remote technology and green screen of these socially-distanced times, in this deadpan homage to “Lady in the Lake” -- all shot from the Detective’s POV.

Set in Springfield, the average American town, the show focuses on the antics and everyday adventures of the Simpson family; Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, as well as a virtual cast of thousands. Since the beginning, the series has been a pop culture icon, attracting hundreds of celebrities to guest star. The show has also made name for itself in its fearless satirical take on politics, media and American life in general.
