colin firth's one failing in this role is that he's too wonderful, it makes me root for him in a way i never rooted for his real life counterpart in the docuseries. excellent dramatization though - i'd say watch the docuseries first if you find the episodes difficult to follow or too confusing to keep your attention. knowing the real story won't make it any less enjoyable a watch, promise! it'll just keep you in step with the moving timeline and family structure.
Colin Firth sounds like John Goodman in this, and it's deeply unsettling.
Really enjoying this, I liked the documentary version a few years back but this looks like it's better.
It’s hard to fault the cast in this show, they do an excellent job, especially Colin Firth. I don’t have any compassion for the bastard he portrays, but Firth does a good job portraying him.
[HBO Max] If the docuseries was an amazing dissection of surprising events and a flawed judicial system, the fiction adds depth to the consequences, rather than the crime itself, which is shown in a clinical, sharp and violent way. It wants to cover too many aspects, but it manages to compose an atmosphere of distrust, tragedy and melancholy that speaks of guilt, loneliness and the faking nature of relationships.
Can't fault the cast and the production values but ultimately kind of a bit pointless. You'd be better off watching the documentary series.
