    This show was NOT believable/I was not convinced that was the real Whitney/The show should have been named "The Innocence of Bobby Brown" He was portrayed to look like an angel and she incapable of making decision and helping him to stay into drugs. The best thing about the show was Whitney's singing. There should have more into the life of both families. The writing was not acceptable

    It’s a surgical examination rather than a hatchet job, but neither is satisfying for those who would prefer the story wasn’t exhumed at all.

    Whitney may be a largely inoffensive and competently executed biopic, but it also misses the point of its existence.

    The stars are very likable but simply not powerful enough to make you forget the real-life, heavily covered people they're playing. But the movie's precision and empathy can't be denied.
