One of the best films i have seen
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I have to say that I'm so amused by the not negligible number of reviewers here on IMDb, who dare to give 10/10 to some series based on the first episode (or couple of them). And compares it with this and that. It just shows superficiality and sallowness of today's world and IMDb as well. IMDb should save minimum dignity and disqualify such reviewers because their opinion is basically based on nothing. Regards!

8 reviews thus far, that surprises me. It also doesn't surprise me at all. It is not fast paced, semi-funny, cheap Netflix content, therefore not appreciated. The synopsis is very interesting, the story-line intriguing. The acting rock solid, no-one exempted. Characters al have proper backstories and are interesting from the get go. The pilot had all the ingredients of a great show.

I saw the movie, so I had some hesitations before giving this serie a chance.
But I was pleasantly surprised. Of course they spiced it up a little, so you get a mix of something inspired on true events and a juicy family soap.
If the level of production doesn't crumble (like American crime story) the following episodes, I'm in for a nice season.

From the very outset, this chilling portrait of a family in turmoil grabs the viewer by the throat and forces you to walk through the foray of penultimate storytelling at the hands of Beaufoy, beautifully crafted by the vision of Boyle. From Sutherland's seething view of J Paul, to the brilliant characterization of Brendan Frazer, this series proves to be everything the big screen version couldn't live up to; riveting abridgment that seems intent to begin a slowburn with ample kindling and fierce fuel. It's high time we acknowledge the ability of fabulous craftsmen to tell a vivid portrayal just as spectacularly on the small screen as that of the theater screen.This looks to be a wild and entrancing ride that I very much look forward to viewing. My only regret is that this is not available for binging and we must endure a weekly wait for the next installment.
