Important but not outstanding. Russell Crowe is nominated in a Best Actor category for the 2020 Golden Globes but I only saw Russell Crowe in a fat suit (unlike John Lithgow who disappeared into Churchill in THE CROWN). I have to admit I only watched 4 of the 7 episodes (1995, 2012, 2015 and 2016), at first by accident (the episode were listed out of sequence) but then, deliberately (I couldn't handle watching any more of the devolution of the man that seems to eerily parallel the megalomaniac spiral of Donald Trump). I just wanted to get to the end. This tale is one too often repeated in this levelling time of the Me, Too era (powerful, unattractive men who use their power to get gratification they could never attract on their own). Because these stories change the power dynamic, these stories need to be told, and for that I give this limited series an 8 (important) out of 10. [Biographical Drama]
