The Kennedys

The Kennedys miniseries ended Sunday on ReelzChannel. I watched all eight parts and liked it. I love to read or watch anything about the Kennedys. The Kennedy's are just a fascinating family. Growing up privileged, having three family members hold positions in government and the many tragedies that pledged the family make for an excellent story.

As much as I enjoyed the miniseries, the critics didn't. Some critics said that there was "no chemistry between Katie Holmes and Greg Kinnear." That "it's not very believable." And the miniseries is "woefully bad." I thought that Barry Pepper played the role of Bobby Kennedy very well. I thought he looked like and sounded like Bobby. I also liked Tom Wilkinson playing Joe Kennedy. Wilkinson acted the part wonderfully. After all of the books I've read about the family, I thought it was a great portrayal.

I thought that it looked good. I think that Katie Holmes really looks the part!

It was good! I thought Katie did a good job as Jackie. :)
