"Recent history restaged as slow-burn political thriller"
This two-part miniseries dramatizes James Comey's tenure as FBI director through the 2016 election and the early Trump presidency, focusing on the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Russia inquiry that followed. Jeff Daniels plays Comey as a principled but flawed institutionalist, while Brendan Gleeson's Trump looms large and unsettling. The tone is tense and procedural, closer to a political thriller than a biopic, carried by strong performances and the eerie familiarity of recent headlines. It moves briskly but leans heavily on viewers already knowing the broader context and stakes involved.
Brendan Gleeson's unnervingly precise performance as Donald Trump.
you want distance from recent political history rather than a dramatized replay of it.
