I never we knew the details of Iran contra, this series explains it well. And besides that, it’s an incredible series. Well written, well acted. Or a single weak link. Everyone is terrific.

This may be THE most compelling Series EVER assembled by ANY network.

A better plot than POWER, more entertaining than OZARKS, and probably the greatest character casting of all time by a Movie or Series. This work pulls FX to the TOP of the heap!! Sorry NetFlix, Starz, HBO, CINEMAX & Showtime, but theres a new sheriff in town. This work will probably never be rivalled, much less topped. Congrats to all at FX and this amazing cast for coming as close to perfection as is currently possible.… Expand

What's refreshing about it is that you actually feel things for certain characters, I won't give examples because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. I was surprised, shocked and on edge throughout the entire thing. Saddened by how evil some of the people were but somehow you understood them. What's refreshing is that when work is passed over, The late great John Singleton created this - after his passing, it didn't get worse. It somehow kept up momentum and didn't get worse which is what a lot of shows end up doing once it changes hands. They did John proud. The actors and everyone involved were absolutely incredible but what I felt most about the ending (and I hope that I don't give too much away) was that after everything, I just felt sad. Sad that certain people died and despite Franklin being a smart, charismatic, brilliant and powerful leader he ends up the way he does and it fills me with such sadness. Despite losing everything, despite his evil, he could have still come back. People still cared about him but he chooses to live the way he does and it just fills me sadness. He had so much and yet when it's over he decides to live in squaller. It's very accurate I suppose but after everything, more often than not, I just felt sad and empty and I suppose that was the intention.

Sensational, from start to finish.… Expand

Jagged, fractured, raw nerves, and oversaturated torque. Compelling, painful, close tv.

Pretty good show, showing the different sides of smuggling between cultures.
