Strange Angel

Jack Parsons was an odd one, indeed. In the 1930s, Parsons was a Los Angeles factory worker with a passion for rocket engineering. His dangerous tinkering panned out, establishing him as an industry pioneer. But there was a darker side to the eccentric inventor, rooted in the esoteric teachings of Aleister Crowley, whose radically libertine Thelemite religion promoted magic and bizarre sex rituals. In this new web-only series, Irish actor Jack Reynor brings Parsons and his strange passions to life. Available for streaming Thursday, June 14, CBS All Access
