About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like intense, talky political mysteries that dig into competing narratives and leave you questioning institutions, similar to Nixon or Snowden; Not for you if you want a brisk, straightforward, fact-settled history.

Pros: gripping conspiracy mystery; strong ensemble cast; compelling courtroom finale | Cons: very long runtime; dense, exhausting details; disputed historical accuracy
