Does anyone else see undertones of the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State scandal in the construction of the TD conspiracy?
Obviously, TD contains a ton of elements that you'll find in conspiracy stories dating back at least as far as the post-Watergate boom in conspiracy films, but some elements of Pizzolato's TD world seem to draw from the Sandusky story, particularly the similarities in the Tuttle family's use of schools and Sandusky's use of The Second Mile as victim farms and the notion that institutions are increasingly vulnerable to corruption as they grow more powerful.
I'd be interested to know if Pizzolato has used similar themes or stories prior to the Sandusky story.
