Capitol Hill(TV-Show/Serie, 2014-)

Capitol Hill is a comedy-horror soap opera web series, which premiered on The Huffington Post website in 2014. The series was created, written, directed and produced by Wes Hurley. The show is named after Seattle's historic Capitol Hill neighborhood. Both inspired by and parodying TV shows of the 1970s and 1980s such as Murder, She Wrote, Dallas, and Charlie's Angels, the series focuses on young and innocent Roses Smell (Waxie Moon) who escapes from Portland, and finds romance and stardom as a TV personality in Seattle.Capitol Hill is both a dark comedy and a queer deconstruction of narrative cliches and traditional gender norms. Other influences cited by Hurley include anime, Giallo and Twin Peaks. ()
