    I know the critics hated this mini-series, but it has much more plot than the movie Jackie, which was just more of what we already know about the Kennedy assassination. Perhaps Matthew Perry isn't the best dramatic actor, but Katie Holmes is charming as Jackie Kennedy, and one gets some insights here as to what attracted Jackie to Aristotle Onasis, as well as what a cad Teddy Kennedy was.I know the critics hated this mini-series, but it has much more plot than the movie Jackie, which was just more of what we already know about the Kennedy assassination.

    It’s hard to assess much of the acting here because most of the actors are confined by a script that swings between harsh judgments and moments of deep sentimentality that almost feel as if they were included to be compensatory.

    The Kennedys: After Camelot is as cheesy as an all-you-can-eat fondue buffet.

    A two-night, four-hour mess lacking in dramatic structure or emotional and thematic beats. You can at least sense that in the Chappaquiddick incident, producer Jon Cassar had something he wanted to build to, but even that scandal is limitedly consequential, and the second night proves particularly formless.
