CBS

Taking place in LA during the 1940s, Strange Angel - based on the book of the same name by George Pendle, which is based on a true story - follows Jack Parsons, described as a "strange and brilliant man."

Blending science with science fiction, Parsons works on an unknown discipline of American rocketry in his day job, but by night performs sex magick rituals and is a follower of occultist Aleister Crowley.

The weird-sounding series stars the excellent Jack Reynor (Macbeth, Sing Street) in the lead role, and comes from Black Swan writer Mark Heyman.

Air Date: June 14
