I remember reading the sprawling article this documentary was roughly based on. While this first episode is generally entertaining, it feels a bit over-the-top in terms of its presentation. The main FBI agent is definitely a character and is entertaining, but it feels like this would have been better served as a three part thing rather than the six that I can see available. There’s almost too much re-enactment and the directing is a bit on-the-nose.
I’ll give the rest of it a shot, but for those who don’t have time, read the article instead.
I’ll also note that this documentary is a separate effort from the feature film that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are developing.
