Critics mock Hillary Clinton 'alternate history' TV series reportedly in development for Hulu

A new television series that is reportedly being developed about an "alternate history" of Hillary Clinton was widely panned on social media.

Variety reported Wednesday that Hulu optioned the rights to Curtis Sittenfeld's 2020 novel "Rodham," which depicts what life would have been like for Hillary Rodham had she not married then-future Arkansas governor and President Bill Clinton.

This follows Hulu's docuseries "Hillary," which premiered on the streaming service earlier this year.

Sarah Treem, the former producer of "The Affair" and "House of Cards," is attached to write and produce the series alongside Sittenfeld and "The Handmaid's Tale" producer Warren Littlefield.

The "alternate history" TV series did not receive the warmest reception on Twitter.

"Who asked for this?" progressive journalist Walker Bragman tweeted.

"Pretty sure Tales From the Crypt was already turned into a television show," Mediaite reporter Charlie Nash wrote.

"Spoiler: James Comey still gets fired," conservative commentator Stephen Miller jokingly predicted.

"Destined to be a cult classic, insofar as 'cult' is taken literally," The Grayzone journalist Aaron Maté wrote.

We would be using “Hillary” instead of “Karen”?

I just want to see the end episode, if hillary kills bill, or bill gets her first, or if they wind up killing each other.

Oh war of the roses already exists.

"... Curtis Sittenfeld's 2020 novel "Rodham," which depicts what life would have been like for Hillary Rodham had she not married then-future Arkansas governor and President Bill Clinton."

She'd probably have pumped out a few more runts with Web Hubbell.

LOL!! Snort!

Does Old Hill still do the nasty with Wes Hubbell or do we live in a Chelsea free world?

“Rodham,” which depicts what life would have been like for Hillary Rodham had she not married then-future Arkansas governor and President Bill Clinton”

Most likely she would still be trying to pass a Bar exam while living out of a Van down by the River.

I don’t have quite the imagination of some people.

I find it hard to believe, that anyone would conceive of the idea of what would have happened to Hillary Rodham, if she hadn’t glommed onto Bill Clinton.

We know she got fired from the staff of the Nixon impeachment inquiry shortly before she went to Arkansas to be with Bill. Would she have stuck around Washington to be one of those inside the Beltway hangers on?

Who knows?

I prefer the Alternative History where Hillary is on Death Row awaiting execution after conviction for treason, sale of office, and multiple Arkancides. She looks up at the minister sent to provide “final counselling” and realizes that it’s Jeffrey Epstein...

What would her life be like if not for marrying Bill? She would be teaching government at a junior college, having been disbarred in 1980, and living with her long-term companion.
