Golden Arches, Golden Trophies: ‘McMillions$’ Documentary Series, About McDonald’s Monopoly Scam, Goes For Emmy Wins
Matthew Carey The FBI has taken a beating under President Trump, who has regularly criticized the agency, going so far as to call some of its investigators “human scum.”That hasn’t done much for FBI morale, but its image gets perhaps a sorely needed boost in one of this year’s most-honored true crime series, HBO’s McMillion$. The six-part series, directed by James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte, carefully reconstructs how the FBI busted a stunningly brazen and elaborate fraud: the rigging of McDonald’s popular Monopoly game promotion.“We weren’t surprised to discover the FBI could be hardworking, doing a good job,” Lazarte tells Deadline.
