(Favourite Son is a miniseries about political intrigue that aired on NBC in three parts from October 30 to November 1, 1988, a week before that year’s presidential election. It starred Harry Hamlin, Linda Kozlowski, James Whitmore, Robert Loggia, John Mahoney, Ronny Cox, and Jason Alexander. The miniseries was adapted from the 1987 novel of the same written by Steve Sohmer, who also wrote the teleplay.)
This crackling, political thriller opens with the assassination of a Nicaraguan diplomat–which kicks off the vice-presidential campaign of a young U.S. Senator wounded in the melee–and leads to a web of covert operations and political intrigues eerily echoing today’s headlines.
Aging FBI agent Mancusco and his ambitious young partner Ross pursue the assassin who killed Colonel Octavio Martinez and critically wounded Texas senator Terry Fallon, while Fallon’s political career booms as a result of media attention.
