How quick does it draw you in?
I have it on queue, but the new series Criminal and the new Ken Burns doc both just dropped as well.

I recently finished this. I agree that it draws you in and gets into your feels with episode one. I watched it over the course of a week to 10 days, so maybe it was burnout, but I was gripped early on then thought the acting/directing fizzled into a Chicago Fire/Med/PD quality towards the end which eroded some its captivation.

Spoiler!
I've never seen any of the Chicago shows either, so that probably wasn't the best example, but I was using them to showcase the difference between an HBO, and even AMC type of series, and a CBS/NBC/ABC type of series which is what this started to feel like for me towards the end. Again, only a slight criticism as the story is most definitely captivating. Last edited by KCUnited; 09-19-2019 at 07:38 AM.. |

Damnit I couldn't figure it where I recognized that actor from.

One episode is all it takes. I watched over the weekend, "Lifetime" movie expectations. It is very well done.

I thought it worked too. I think it was meant to give some depth to why they each would prioritize some things over others in slightly different ways. I watched it in a week flat, found it really compelling.

I was cool with that angle, especially if it was accurate to the story, but feel it could've been much more dynamic than what they did with it. I should probably reconcile that this was never going to be a multi-season series given it's true story nature, so nuance gets rushed.
