    I don't see the JFK in here, boss. JFK The Smoking Gun is about the horrific event that even Parkland couldn't save in its runtime. The story is well researched and all, but this doc is really boring. Bundles of info smashing in your face like wind! I watched the whole season and nothing was changed. Same old story in episodes, boring episodes. I would say I you are a die hard JFK fan thanI don't see the JFK in here, boss.

    McLaren doesn’t come off as a conspiracy theorist or an agenda-crazed obsessive. He comes off as a detective building a case. But then, so do others. And only one can be right.

    Recycled theory with some fresh perspective--but it still smells recycled.

    Stuffed with stilted actor re-enactments--and repeated shots of a mock John F. Kennedy corpse with its skull blown open--Smoking Gun basically regurgitates the 1992 book Mortal Error and its conclusion that a Secret Service agent accidentally fired the third and fatal shot.
