About
If you enjoy pressure-cooker miniseries about public image and personal fallout, this could work for you; Not for you if you want light comedy or clear-cut heroes, and it may feel heavier than The Recruit.
Pros: high-stakes premise; tense family dynamic; fast-moving drama | Cons: limited detail here; may feel stressful; not much humor
