Who: John Singleton (creator); Damson Idris, Emily Rios

What: Set in 1980s LA, the drama will explore the first crack cocaine epidemic and its impact on the city, following the likes of a young dealer, a Mexican wrestler, and a CIA operative.

Why: It sounds a lot like it could be FX's version of Narcos, which, given the response to that series, isn't a bad thing. Singleton, Oscar nominated for Boyz n the Hood, has done some strong TV work lately (The People v O.J. Simpson, Empire), and FX are on a real hot-streak right now.

Where & When: FX, TBA

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
