His chief accomplice is a particularly nuance-free Nurse Ratched-type, who quivers with rage as women give birth to their soon to be stolen babies, spitting out her contempt in a three-word catchphrase: oh, those “stupid, stupid, stupid” girls! The dim and dirty hospital may as well be an evil laboratory, perched on top of a mountain with lightning flashing from the pitch-black sky and thunder overshadowing the screams from within. The doctor spends his days in packed lecture halls, conflating loose morals as scientific study, while his nights consist of sloppy surgeries to patients he could care less about. Modern day juries would convict these eyebrow-cocked caricatures in a heartbeat, but perhaps such obvious devilishness felt quirkier at the turn of the century. Her accusers are as cartoonish as villains come, not that anyone but Sara seems to notice. Staffed with women and surviving on unnecessary investigations (a lot of rich society types are paying good money to find out if their servants are stealing from them), Sara’s small business has been spending a majority of its resources trying to save a woman on death row after she was convicted of murdering a child whose body has yet to be found.

And “ The Alienist: Angel of Darkness” just keeps digging, building most of its eight-episode mystery around murdered, kidnapped, or otherwise tormented children.

Series with similar set-ups, themes, or plotlines go head-to-head and, sometimes, only one survives - like in 2006, when two shows about the making of a fictional “SNL” squared off, and “30 Rock” trounced “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” Other dueling dualities both thrive, like “ER” and “Chicago Hope,” and still more bomb equally, like “Cashmere Mafia” and “Lipstick Jungle” in 2008, or “Do Over” and “That Was Then” in 2002.īeing first to air isn’t always the deciding factor, but when you’re the second somber period drama to revolve around a dead baby - airing amid a global pandemic, no less - then you’re starting in a pretty deep hole.
