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.
