I found it to be well produced and entertaining, but I don’t think anybody in this documentary has an IQ over 60. Unfortunately that includes the FBI.

Compelling story that was gripping throughout, excluding a few parts that lingered towards the end. Some hidden beautiful cinematography and great characters that make for an experience more enjoyable than I anticipated when i first clicked play on my Hulu homepage.

This was riveting from start to finish. Best thing on HBO right now. Truth is truly stranger than fiction. How could anyone make this stuff up. Its unbelievable and it so entertaining!!!!

Too long and the subject wasn't that interesting to be honest. And the narrative is very repetitive.

Good subject matter for a documentary that most people are familiar with. Didn't need to be a mini-series though, the series isn't that complex and didn't need that much exposition. The end result is incredibly drawn out, slow paced, and boring. Interviews jump around too much, I personally don't care about every aspect of every loosely related person's personal life. A lot of the subject matter covered in the documentary was mostly unrelated to the scandal which led to my quick disinterest in the documentary. The re-enactments were over-dramatic and drawn out, I also thought it was lazy that they re-enacted parts they could've acquired photos or footage from. Overall the documentary is incredibly boring, contains a lot of unnecessary fluff, and drawn out to pad the time. If you care about this case, it's better to just watch a YouTube video on it.

HBO made a good documentary is practically a pleonasm. The rhythm of the episodes is good, the director manages to extract a lot of those involved in the fact that involved McDonald's, really worth watching.

A poorly made documentary where the subject matter is far more interesting than the execution of the production. Watch the first episode and you will be treated to a few interviews and needless reenactments of office work. This feels really stretched out and I doubt it should have been a series. Probably could have been an hour and a half documentary.

First 2 episodes, i could not imagine this being interesting in any way-much less for 6 hours. In the middle of this series i rewatched Richard Jewell, and watching these agents entrap the criminals, even though they were criminals, there is something insidious about it. Hard to reconcile the FBI here and in Richard Jewell with how they are represented on other shows, usually as humorless professionals. These guys seem so immature and malevolent. It is fun to watch as long as they are pursuing bad guys, but ij both shows the thread is that the guilt or innocence of the perpetrators is irrelevant. I recommend watching this along with Richard Jewell.
