It took me a few weeks to get myself to watch this series, but the reviews helped me decide to do it. And I am so glad I did - for a couple of reasons.
This is an amazing and equally difficult series to watch given the true story it tells. Nothing is pretty. Nothing is smooth.
HOWEVER! Even if you don't like the story or the facts, it is worth watching for several reasons - all of them actors. First and foremost (Forgive me, Ray Liotta) - Paul Walter Hauser is scary brilliant as Larry Hall. He brought to life a monster I promise you will never forget. He builds layers week by week by week. It's the same with Taron Egerton as Jimmy.
Ray Liotta as the dad. Well. It's Ray Liotta, isn't it? Perfection from his first appearance on the screen, as always. This was a good way for him leave.
The story is even scarier given that it's true.
Do watch it - even it's uncomfortable (and it is). You'll be rewarded with some of the best acting you've been privy to in a long time.
