Tom Holland may be best known as Spider-Man in the Marvel movie franchise, but in this taut thriller based on Daniel Keyes’ novel The Minds of Billy Milligan, he plays troubled young man Danny Sullivan. Viewers meet Danny in the opening moments of the 10-part series (three episodes drop first, with subsequent installments each Friday), just before a shooting occurs in 1979 New York City. The mystery begins once Danny is apprehended for the crime. As he’s questioned by sympathetic interrogator Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried), he shares pivotal moments in his life—and the revelations are shockers. They would probably make even Peter Parker run and hide.
