Did any forum members happen to catch the mini series "The Kennedys" over the past week on Reelz Channel? The finale was tonight.. and.. if I may say.. I thought it was a very well done series.
In addition to delving fairly deeply into the Kennedys' personal and political lives, the acting, in my opinion, was incredible.
Greg Kinnear did a wonderful job as John F Kennedy. His voice, mannerisms, and portrayal of President Kennedy were excellent. Barry Pepper, who gained fame as Roger Maris, in the baseball biopic, "61", was superb as Robert Kennedy. Katie Holmes gave a wonderful, and surprisingly good, portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy. There were other good roles as well., Diana Hardcastle, and her real life husband, Tom Wilkerson, were wonderful as Rose and Joe Kennedy Sr, and even Kristin Booth as Ethel Kennedy, and the acting by the people who played Lyndon Johnson, J Edgar Hoover, and Marilyn Monroe, were very well done.
Did any other forum members happen to catch this series? Thoughts on the series, and the acting?
