As we watch billionaires profit off a global health crisis while service workers are turned into infantry so people can shop during a pandemic, the national mood toward mega-corporations is anything but warm and fuzzy. So there’s no better time for Netflix to announce Kings Of America, a new limited series created by Jess Kimball Leslie that’s executive produced by Amy Adams and Adam McKay. Here’s the logline: “Kings of America centers on the stories of three powerful women whose lives were inextricably intertwined with the world’s largest company: a Walmart heiress, a maverick executive, and a longtime Walmart saleswoman and preacher who dared to fight against the retail giant in the biggest class action lawsuit in U.S. history.”
