Koji Steven Sakai drags the Sage of Monticello into a South Pasadena garage for a long-overdue audit of the American mission statement. In this premiere episode, Koji uses the “Dead Air” signal to cross-examine Thomas Jefferson on the massive plot holes in his legacy—from squaring “all men are created equal” with a 600-person forced labor camp to the $2,000 wine habit that kept him in debt and his own children in the service entrance. It’s a deep dive into the macaroni-obsessed, weather-tracking Founding Father who gave us the vocabulary for freedom but couldn’t afford to live the script.
