I watched all seven episodes so I feel okay to admit I really did not like this.
I'm a history and docudrama buff. I watch all kinds of documentaries.
So you'd think I'd like this. I have not read the book.
It was awful. My main problem is that there are no sympathetic characters. Everyone is just nasty.
In the last couple eps I started fast forwarding thru the scenes with Booth.
This problem of the nasty characters overshadows everything else. I hated the actors. I hated the writing. I hated the production.
I can't explain why I stuck with it to the end. Maybe I thought something would happen that redeemed it. But no. In fact the ending is jarring. You're left thinking "Is that it?"
What a waste of time. I give it two stars because, you know, people expended energy making it and so they should be at least rewarded for that.
