TV’s newest political potboiler is more erudite than “The West Wing” and more intense than “24” — and it’s coming to, of all places, PBS.

In “Deadlock,” an assemblage of government officials, politicos, clergy and media convenes to hash out — in real time — the fallout from a presidential election fraught with threats of misinformation, legal imbroglios and protests. Aaron Tang, a professor at Uc Davis School of Law, guides such notables as Jeh C. Johnson, the former secretary of Homeland Security; Kris Kobach, the attorney general of Kansas; Scott Pelley, the “60 Minutes” correspondent; Dr. Rachel Bitecofer, a political strategist; and Dr. Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., a professor of African American studies at Princeton University through a harrowing Election Night in which every decision they make has the potential to result in dire consequences for U.S. democracy.

Edward R. Murrow once warned of television, "This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box." If he were alive today, well, he'd be talking about a rectangle for starters. He'd also, most likely, be utterly devastated at the state of journalism in America.
