    this was nice.

    the execution of the story definitely feels too broad and by the numbers here, even for a biopic as i felt like as an audience member we get just enough broad strokes to understand the characters and their motivations, but not enough to get fully invested in them and be satisfied by the time the movie ends. there's also not much that stands out from a technical standpoint.

    thankfully, that isn’t the case here. this was a masterfully crafted show. the writing is phenomenal as  it never tries to shy away from the fact that a life was taken in such…
