The Apprentice
“An American horror story.”
HistoryDramaComedy
A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.
VIBE
This is a ruthless, cynical character study, propulsively charting a descent into moral decay. It feels unsettlingly ambitious, steeped in the gritty, cutthroat world of 1970s New York power brokers. A psychologically intense period drama about the corrosive nature of unchecked ambition.
