"Showtime's" latest 7 part series "The Loudest Voice" based on a best selling book is an in depth and clear showcase of one tough and wicked TV boss Roger Ailes. Played to perfection by Russell Crowe(and he even looks the part to a fit with weight gain and makeup!) Roger is an overweight man who's conservative and he likes to eat plenty and he's old stubborn and set in ways with a rural background plus he's a life long cheerleader for the Republican party. The series along the way after the character introduction shows how Ailes founded "FOX News" and how he would help spring the network to super ratings with his 911 coverage and for the way the network pushed freedom and gave a thumbs up for the "Iraq" war. And also how with the election of a new president in 2008 who Roger believed to be a socialist democrat he turned the network into debate hate with crazy stories of race relations!
Yet thru it all Roger Ailes despite power, control, greed, and stubbornness and having a power struggle and ego trip with media founder Rupert Murdoch had the biggest vice of all which lead to his downfall that was beautiful women. From one pretty intern to another pretty network executive assistant Mr. Ailes would bed many of them while wife Beth(Sienna Miller) would just look the other way. Finally this big game of sexual misconduct and harassment would be exposed by morning anchor Gretchen Carlson(Naomi Watts). Overall good series of how one's own powerful self poison, and manipulative manner can help destroy them and lead to a personal self destruction.
