The Beaverton

"Episode 201"

Synopsis:

Based on the website of the same name, The Beaverton brings you the most important and up-to-date fake news in North America. Informed by current events, the news media, and the cultural zeitgeist, stories are presented matter-of-factly by two anchors, the “spirited” Emma Hunter, and Cronkite-wannabe Miguel Rivas, along with their correspondents: the Bay-street washout and capital C Capitalist, Laura Cilevitz; coolest reporter in the news room, Aisha Alfa; British and therefore probably brilliant Marilla Wex; 40-year-old 20-year-old Donavon Stinson; and the geeky, app-obsessed Dave Barclay. Craig David Wallace has directed TV series for Space, Chiller, Superchannel, Amazon, and Hulu, included SLASHER, FREAKISH, DARK MATTER, and TODD & THE BOOK OF PURE EVIL.
