A show that is bolstered and outright kept afloat by the brilliant performances of Firth and Collette. Much of the bluster and force is gone after Episode 4, and we're left with a meandering character study for the remaining episodes. It's not bad viewing per se, but much of the grip and tension makes way to plodding introspection. This mini series does a much better job at showing all angles and then leaning into Michaels guilt, whereas the documentary does everything to frame Michael as innocent. To that end, I'm even more undecided on what I think happened. But I digress. Some award winnning performances and some great composition, but be prepared for some air-y character study towards the backend. Definitely a flat 7/10 for me when all is considered.
