It has just taken me about four hours to watch this one-hour episode. I had to keep pausing it so I could calm down!
Some of the negative criticisms about this mini-series claim it's only 5% true. I suspect that's just a number plucked from the air, but even if it's so, most of that 5% is unacceptable now and should have been then!
One critic suggests reading "the true facts" on Wikipedia. Well, I did. It doesn't have the gut-wrenching power of this dramatisation but even a bald reading of it screams 'Injustice!'
Felicity Huffman, btw, is a superb actress. No doubt she's a wonderfully nice person in real life, which makes her performances in roles such as she has here even more incredible. I guess it's because you totally believe that she totally believes she's doing the right thing.
Watch this. Even if you think it's all fiction, it's amazingly powerful.
