    About a half hour into the first part from last night. (Thought I'd record it just in case I'd try to watch it.) Anyone else watching this? I know the guy was a scumbag, but I'm starting to think this portrayal is pretty silly and a waste of my time.

    The smart kid from Broken Arrow is a good investigative nerd, though.
     
  3. Psychopaths all have some simple scheme that they run right under everybody's nose. Their art is not in crafting a complicated scheme, it's in running the agenda..

    Decent show. It reveals the family dynamic behind the scenes which seemed accurate. I enjoyed it

    Keep in mind this was a dramatization, not a documentary.

    Nobody normal wants to watch 4 hours of drama about some financial person that nearly everyone hates. Maybe we on ET do, but no one else does. So I figure that is why they made the series a little campy, to keep it entertaining. Plus, that is the sort of genre in which Dreyfuss shines. I'm not sure that the story was historically accurate, so keep that in mind.

    Ill be sure to take your word for it----if your "not sure" how can anyone be?

    Not to mention, ABC always plays shows that nobody normal would watch--

    Your statement is about the most moronic one ever on elite.

    He hates it so much he sent the letter to NBC (instead of ABC). :)
