Netflix’s Minerva Academy places its teenage characters inside a military high school that feels almost removed from modern life. Salvo, Vincenzo, Camilla and the other cadets live among historic corridors, ceremonial courtyards and formal rooms while following rules that ban mobile phones, restrict civilian clothes and demand military-style discipline. Although Minerva itself is fictional, the…
NBC’s Line of Fire may be fictional, but the world surrounding the Hollingsworth family comes from more real-life experience than viewers might initially expect. Creator Joshua Safran drew the central idea from a family he knew whose members worked for the Secret Service, while executive producer Jenna Bush Hager brought firsthand knowledge of what it…
NBC’s Line of Fire initially presents the Hollingsworths as a complicated but recognizable family whose members happen to work across the Secret Service, FBI, U.S. Marshals and Department of Justice.
