    Mildly entertaining, wildly over-acted. This show takes itself too seriously.

    This is a tense true-crime story told with immense confidence and care — but it’s the performances, especially from Paul Walter Hauser and Ray Liotta, that really make Black Bird sing.

    The humanity Liotta brings to Keene’s father, Big Jim, is multifaceted and sobering, and it cuts through the more irritating aspects of Black Bird to remind what a great actor can do with any amount of screen time.

    This is a (very) slow-burn drama, and it takes three of the six episodes for Jimmy and Larry to come face to face. When they do, it’s television magic.
