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.

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.

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.)
