Anyone watching this controversial miniseries?
With the exception of Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy (I wonder what idiot casting director thought that would be a good idea?), I think the cast is quite good, particularly Tom Wilkinson as Joe Kennedy.
As for the story, it takes numerous liberties with history, but I think it makes the drama (or rather, melodrama) a lot more fun as a result. The basic history they present is correct, though. Just not the circumstances surrounding the events.
I'm enjoying this as a dramatic miniseries in the tradition of the "great" miniseries of the 1980s - Rich Man, Poor Man; The Thorn Birds; etc. Trashy but entertaining.
