Fellow Travelers True Story: The Army-McCarthy Hearings & Controversial Fabrications Explained

The critically acclaimed Showtime series Fellow Travelers follows the true story of the Arm-McCarthy hearings, with some scenes being picture-perfect representations of historical events. After five episodes of the eight-part miniseries, Fellow Travelers has proven to be a robust and thoughtful portrait of one of the darkest periods in American history with regard to the Red Scare of communism, the Lavender Scare of the LGBTQ+ community, and the radical and discriminatory ideologies of McCarthyism. Matt Bomer’s Hawk Fuller is one of the most rich and complex characters on television in 2023, with the suave bravado of a Don Draper that only masks a delightful sensitivity.
