As a housewife being dragged down by her husband's pyramid scheme obsession, Kirsten Dunst rises from a pile of FAM branded paper towels to create one of the scrappiest, most unrelenting TV characters in recent memory in Showtime's On Becoming a God in Central Florida. Krystal Stubbs works a low-wage job at a water park where she barely makes enough to keep her and her infant daughter afloat, so when she sees an opportunity to make real cash she seizes it — even if it means dragging down desperate people so that she can reach the top of the FAM pyramid that proves so elusive to men like her husband. Think Breaking Bad, but weirder and with mountains of generic home goods instead of meth, and you have this nihilistic send up to the American dream of the '90s.
