A must watch

If I were to believe most of the other reviews here, I would have given this mini-series a wide berth. Further investigation reveals that most of the haters couldn't have even watched it as their reviews appeared before it was shown. How can you review a show before you've seen it? The obvious answer is they are biased and dishonest, so I watched it depite the poor ratings and reviews.

I'm so glad I did and I think it worthwhile that you all watch it. It will open your eyes, perhaps for the very first time. Jeff Daniels is brilliant as Comey.

Focus is on Comey, NOT Trump

The 2-part series is not an attack on Trump but rather a presentation of how institutions, procedure, and rule of law work in America. The first part focuses on Hilary emails before the election, while the second part focuses on Comey's work after Trump gets elected.

It's an honest portrayal that's worth watching. The focus is repairing public faith in the FBI and DOJ.

An important, well-acted, beautifully choreographed show.

This show is a must watch. It is very well acted with great performances from Jeff Daniels, Brendan Gleeson, Holly Hunter and many other notable actors and actresses. The direction and pacing of the show is also well done. The show is based on Jim Comey's book A Higher Loyalty, so it included many personal and intimate situations from his time during the unfolding of these events. The low ratings are of course from the same individuals/bots who target other shows as well which promote any truth or diversity in the Trump Era.

Enjoyable but not perfect

Enjoyable series though not perfect. It has a slightly hagiographic nature in relation to Comey though at the same time he comes across as pretty naive. Brendan Gleeson's portrayal of Trump is brilliant but you can't help feel it humanises him a bit too much. Some of the characters, especially the Trump side, are presented very one dimensionally as 'baddies', but perhaps that's accurate...

worth watching

The rating seems very unfair for the quality of this series. unsurprising as i'm sure this ruffled many trump supporting feathers. they don't enjoy seeing trump in this light, which is funny because so much of his dialog is straight out of his mouth. It's not glorifying democrats or Hilary either, just feels like a genuine insight into the background of politics and the stresses that come with the decisions they make on a daily basis.
