Crisis in Six Scenes (2016)
Crisis in Six Scenes is an American television miniseries written and directed by Woody Allen for Amazon Studios. Allen wrote and directed six episodes for the half-hour series, marking the first time he has done so for television. It is available exclusively on Amazon Video. The series premiered on September 30, 2016, to generally unfavorable reviews. Allen said in May 2016 that the series will consist of only one season.
The deal with Allen was seen as giving Amazon a possible advantage in its competition with Netflix and television networks. The series was announced within days of Amazon winning the Golden Globe Award for the comedy-drama Transparent, another original series. Allen had last written new material for television in the 1950s, when he wrote for Sid Caesar. In a May 2015 interview, Allen said that progress on the series had been “very, very difficult” and that he had “regretted every second since I said OK”. Allen has said of the series, “I don’t know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I’m not sure where to begin. My guess is that Roy Price [the head of Amazon Studios] will regret this.”
