The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The screenplay is perfect, the performance of the actors is flawless, Donald Sutherland's performance had to be mentioned alone: outstanding and couldn't really tell that he was acting, the choice of the actors is very neat.
The events provoke my mind in a very twisted way.
I hope they go for season 2 and 3.

Mr Sutherland is in exceptional form as is Brendan Fraser.Just love his head of security role he plays, and no mindless screaming in site! That do's not mean the rest of the cast are not as they are also a pleasure to watch. The split screen for me didn't work in the 70's and is no better here, how ever it gives the whole show that 70's feel and works well. Haven't seen it all yet but will wait with keen anticipation for the next episode.

I was in grade school when Getty was kidnapped , and it is interesting to see a well acted and written show based on the events. They really capture the feel of the era well, when we didn't know how bad sex and drugs could be for you, and we thought we were experiencing them for the first time.Most of the actors are good, especially the one who plays the grandson. His spacey affect is just enough to seem real, an authentic depiction of a doper kid at the time (and weren't we all?).The only flaw I see the is PC shoe horning in of the subplot showing the mom, played by an aging, toothy Hillary Swank, as the only one with integrity and brains. She takes over the whole deal, because the men have screwed everything up so badly. Yet they don't tell us how she makes the rent, and isn't she the one who allowed her 16 year old son to run wild? Swank's boyfriend is depicted as a real A-hole, yet, he is one of the few major characters ever seen doing any actual work. In addition, the diatribe he launches into about little Paul helping him out and doing a little work is some of the only sensible parenting seen in the whole piece.I don't know what role, if any, the mother took in the negotiations in real life. I do know that we all thought it was incredibly weird that the richest man in the world wasn't paying, and we assumed he must be incredibly cheap. When a certain persons certain appendage got cut off, everybody in the world took note.It is fun to watch a series showing a way that it might have gone down, even if it is a PC'd up version. The real facts might be air brushed out of the picture, but it is still well drawn.
