BrainDead

Created by Michelle King, Robert King

On CBS

A satirical sci-fi comedy that uses alien brain-eating as a metaphor for political dysfunction, balancing dark subject matter with irreverent humor and high-concept strangeness.

A young fresh-faced Hill staffer gets her first job in Washington, D.C. and discovers two things: 1. The government has stopped working, and 2. alien spawn have come to earth and eaten the brains of a growing number of Congressmen and Hill staffers.
