Season 1 Review:
It’s not that “Lockerbie: A Search for Truth” is bad. Much of it is strikingly put together and Firth’s performance buoys those moments of emotion with skill and empathy. .... When the show cuts to the devastating news footage of the actual event, one can’t help but wonder if a documentary would have made more sense for telling this still-important story.

Season 1 Review:
I’d say the show understands that it’s becoming as distanced from its emotional center as Jim is, as obsessed with making this a whodunnit at the expense of a story of self-care and healing. But I wonder if these same beats would have played more successfully in a feature film or a tighter miniseries.

Season 1 Review:
As a domestic drama, it’s one-note — or rather two-note, as Jane alternates between exasperation and support. The series pays no more attention to Swire’s family than he seems to. Firth is onscreen throughout, but because the story is fragmented, jumping ahead for years at a time, he lacks the space to create a full-blown character. (Others fare even less well.)
