Season 1 Review:
The supporting cast (including reliable British faces, like Mark Bonnar, and Iranian actor Ardalan Esmaili, who convincingly inhabits the convicted bomber, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi) orbit this stellar performance.

Season 1 Review:
As it progresses, Lockerbie often jumps jarringly through time and locations. It’s one of the drawbacks of an otherwise gripping series. The writing also cannot (or doesn’t want to) fully grasp the international political chess games played after the bombing. Which nation or group was behind the plane crash? Jim spends his life seeking an answer, with Lockerbie turning his mission into an immersive and poignant viewing experience.

There’s some controversy surrounding this show, as there are many people who don’t agree with Jim’s hypothesis about what actually occurred that fateful day, but Lockerbie reads more as a character study about Jim and his perspective than as propaganda trying to get viewers to agree with him — and Firth makes it well worth a watch.
