The Spoils of Babylon
This 2014 miniseries, directed by Matt Piedmont, is a satirical take on the epic family sagas of the 1970s and 1980s. It follows the dramatic and often absurd lives of the Morehouse family, whose fortunes are tied to the oil industry. The series features an all-star cast including Tobey Maguire, Kristen Wiig, and Will Ferrell, who also serves as the narrator. Notably, the production is known for its intentionally over-the-top performances and melodramatic plot twists. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
