Summary:
"Jack Parsons, the subject of CBS All Access' new biographical drama series Strange Angel, doesn't seem like a real guy. If a writer made him up, he'd seem like he had too much going on. But it's true: Parsons was a brilliant rocket scientist who made pioneering contributions to the then-burgeoning field of jet propulsion in the '30s and '40s, helping make what was then almost science fiction into reality. He was also an occultist who led the Los Angeles chapter of a mystical religion/black magick sex cult called Thelema and whose personal life was as complicated as the chemical equations he solved. Strange Angel starts at the beginning of Parsons' ascent into the heavens and descent into the underworld. It's September 1938, and Parsons (Jack Reynor) is a frustrated young aspiring scientist who's trying to get the California Institute of Technology to take his ideas seriously. Meanwhile, his peculiar new neighbor Ernest Donovan (Rupert Friend) is trying to get Jack and his wife Susan (Bella Heathcote) to take his ideas seriously -- ideas like "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law," which is the guiding principle of Thelema, the occult belief system created by Aleister Crowley, 'the wickedest man in the world.'"--Container.
