Archie (2023)
Good show but sloppy errors.
26 November 2023 - 24 out of 31 users found this review helpful.
Decent and moving show, generally very well acted, but marred by a number of surprisingly sloppy factual errors that don't gel with the assertions made at the start that it was a well researched drama - in particular Grant gave up his career as soon as Jennifer was born, the brother who died did so before Archie was born. Easy to fact check these and other basic timeline issues that call into question veracity of the piece otherwise.
Shame because the acting was good by Isaac's, Aikman and Waters, and Isaac's captured Grant's voice exceptionally, although the make up of older Grant seemed less effective.
Generally moving and it revealed the man's achievements and complexities.
