The Spoils of Babylon (IFC)
The six-part dark comedy — created by Matt Piedmont and Andrew Steele, and produced by Ferrell’s Funny or Die — is the bizarre adaptation of a non-existent novel penned by fictional author Eric Jonrosh (voiced by Ferrell). The show follows a dysfunctional family of oil tycoons led by Jonas Morehouse (Tim Robbins). His children, played by Kristen Wiig and Tobey Maguire, are set to inherit the fortune if they can fight their forbidden love for each other, (“I kicked heroin, I can’t kick you,” Maguire tells Wiig before they embrace).
"You're not your Facebook status. You're not how many friends you have. You're not the smart phone you own. You're not the apps of your phone. You're not your fucking iPad. You're the all-planking, e-consuming crap of the world."
