They depict a part of his story and the actors that they choose for the roles were perfectly matched. I would definitely recommend watching this to have a better understanding in regards to that unabomber case and some of the philosophies of Ted, for a better understanding and more in-depth look I would suggest reading his manifesto. Great series , great man.… Expand
