About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like intense true-crime courtroom/media dramas with strong performances and pressure-filled dialogue; Not for you if slow pacing and occasionally uneven humor bother you, especially if you prefer something more tightly focused like Steve Jobs or The Act.
Pros: strong performances; gripping true story; tense media pressure | Cons: slow pacing; sags midsection; jokes miss
