“Eric Jonrosh is a drunk who urinated in my sink when he came to our house for dinner, but damn he writes great miniseries.” “The first ‘Spoils’ miniseries beat the NFL and Big Bang Theory in ratings (adults: ages 74-92) and changed the way Americans talk, think and prepare meat. We anticipate this new series from Jonrosh with Steele and Piedmont becoming the most-watched television event in the history of Earth.” — Fill up your giant wine glasses and menace the server, IFC has ordered ‘The Spoils Before Dying,’ a ‘Babylon’ follow-up set in the “seedy underbelly of the 1950s jazz scene.”
