I have just finished watching episode 1 of the new TV Series "Strange Angel" (being shown on CBS All Access), and I have no idea how to describe it - weird, wacky, it's a biopic series about John Whiteside "Jack" Parsons, the rocket scientist, one of the principal founders of the Jet Propulsion Lab at Caltech.
It's so weird, that IMDb has listed it as Sci-fi (lol).
Perhaps a few quotes I found online various sites will help:
“The story follows the life of Jack Parsons, a mysterious and brilliant man in 1940s Los Angeles, who by day helps birth the entirely unknown discipline of American rocketry, and by night is a performer of sex magick rituals and a disciple to occultist Aleister Crowley.”
Now if anyone has heard of Crowley, he was famous for saying:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
Ya know - black magic, the dark side, evil...

spoiler alert - as follows:
Oh, and Parsons also knew L. Ron Hubbard - ya know, the guy who invented Scientology, or should I say, Parsons knew Hubbard cause after Parson's going with his ex's sister, this sister later dumped Parsons for Hubbard (both of whom defrauded Parsons of his life's savings)!!!!
Like this is a real story, jeez, can't wait to see the other episodes (chuckling).
