Based on the novel by Joseph Heller, Catch-22, a Hulu miniseries, shows the effects of war through its main characters. We analyze their MBTI.
Based on Joseph Heller's 1961 novel, Hulu and George Clooney have adapted Catch-22 as a mini-series. Does it improve on 1970's movie?
Executive produced/directed by George Clooney and Grant Heslov and based on the Joseph Heller novel of the same name, the Hulu mini-series Catch-22 tells the story of Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is willing to do anything to get out of his military assignments, but who must also avoid being in violation of the bureaucratic rule which states that concern for one’s own safety in the face of danger is proof, in itself, of being of rational mind. A request to be removed from duty is evidence of …
War is hell, sure, but in Hulu's Catch-22, it's more like a dream. Executive-produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov—each also star and direct two episodes apiece, with Ellen Kuras helming the other two—the six-episode adaptation faithfully maintains all the deeply surreal dark comedy of the Joseph Heller novel it's based on.

Hulu has released a new trailer for its limited series Catch-22, executive produced and directed by George Clooney.

But what's more interesting is the tone, visual look, and very recognizable cast in this adaptation, which looks like a lot of fun. As Adam Chitwood wrote regarding the …
Hulu has released the first Catch-22 trailer for the upcoming limited series adaptation of Joseph Heller’s seminal novel. The six-episode series hails from director and executive producer George Clooney, who also has a supporting role in the cast (he originally took a lead role, but recast himself with Kyle Chandler so he had more time to focus on directing the episodes). Girls alum Christopher Abbott stars as Yossarian, a U.S. Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious not only at the enemy who continues trying to kill him, but also at his own …
Part horror-thriller and part psychological exploration, Piercing (based on the novel by Ryū Murakami) is a twisted story about a man (Christopher Abbott) who seeks out a female stranger to help him live out his dark fantasies. That plan spirals out of control when he finds himself with a woman (Mia Wasikowska) who has her own internal darkness, leading to a game of cat-and-mouse that is frightening, surreal and, at times, oddly humorous. During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, actor Christopher Abbott talked about working with friend and writer/director Nicolas Pesce on Piercing, his …
