Series Preview: Apple Remakes documentary “Midnight Family” as a drama series

Remember the jaw-dropping 2019 documentary “Midnight Family,” about Mexico City’s competitive “private” ambulance services and one family struggling to stay afloat saving lives for profit?

Boy, I do. Medical capitalism’s end game plays like a slice of dystopian science fiction. Just chilling to think of family businesses providing the ambulances, dashing to wrecks like ambulance chaser lawyers and journalists.

A fictional series based on Luke Lorentzen’s doc has the time to add melodrama, an earthquake and a family crisis or three. This streams Sept. 25 on Apple TV.
