About
You’ll likely enjoy Vice if you want a dark, highly informative political story with plenty of humor and a standout central performance; Not for you if you dislike biased-feeling takes, don’t want slow stretches, or prefer a more character-focused drama like Truth or Snowden.
Pros: educational and intense; standout lead performance; often very funny | Cons: can feel slow; heavy and preachy; characterization may feel distant
