The writers are too cute. They're like a grade 12 Creative Writing class trying out little tricks.

I want to watch a show that I can get absorbed in and that rings true and maybe I can learn a little piece of history.

Instead all I can think about are writers writing.

Do I want to pat them on the head? Yes. They are trying so hard.

Do I want to keep giving them my time? No. It's enough.
 
Checked out Rosewater (2014) which was Jon Stewart's Directorial and screenplay-writing debut.

It's pretty good. Unfortunately, from my viewing perspective, I already knew the story. The telling of it was fairly linear and without embellishment. I felt like Stewart went to some lengths not to Hollywood it up too much, and draw attention to himself.

It's not what I would call thrilling but it's an important story and it's pretty good. That's what I have to say about that. 7 out of 10.



Here are Stewart, Maziar Bahari, the subject, and Gael Garcia Bernal who played him.
