The Madness on Netflix is a political thriller series with a lot of depth—and twists.
TV pundit Muncie Daniels (Colman Domingo) seems to have (almost) everything, including a fulfilling career and time off to write a new book in the Poconos woods. Granted, his son Demetrius lives with his ex, who wants to divorce him, but even that isn't the end of the world for Muncie. However, his life soon turns upside down within a day when he's accused of a murder he didn't commit.
What unfolds from there is so enthralling, it's no surprise why the series is trending on Netflix. So, who framed Muncie? And perhaps more importantly, why? Let's break down the surprise ending here. Beware, massive spoilers for the Netflix series ahead.
What is The Madness on Netflix about?
TV pundit Muncie just wants to write his new book in peace and quiet at a rental home in the secluded Pocanos woods. But when his power goes out, he tries to get help from a neighbor who had previously introduced himself…only to find the man had been killed and dismembered. Shocked, Muncie tries to leave the property but is followed by two masked killers.
Before he knows it, Muncie finds himself persona non grata and accused of murdering the neighbor, who turns out was a major player in the neo-Nazi scene. After a body part is found in his freezer, Muncie goes into hiding. Eventually, he turns himself into the police, but they don't believe his innocence. Only at the very end is Muncie able to uncover the huge conspiracy behind the murder and find peace with his family.
The Madness is a parable about modern warfare: truth and disinformation on the internet, the power with which powerful rich people can undermine entire systems, and the cloaks under which they operate.
But who really framed Muncie for the murder? And why?
The Madness, ending explained
Munice, a Black public figure who has been outspoken about Black Lives Matter, is framed for killing a known neo-Nazi.
Who would do that? As Muncie uncovers the conspiracy behind it all, he eventually learns that tech billionaire Rodney Kaintz (Neal Huff) is the one who's been making his life a living hell. The reason: Muncie was quite simply in the wrong place at the wrong time (or make that several times). Not only is Kaintz responsible for the murder of the neo-Nazi, but he also had his henchman and his business partner Stu Magnussen (Bradley Whiteford) killed.
