I loved this. I had never heard of Lance Herndon and the mystery of his death was almost Agatha Christie-like. In addition, though it is 4 hours I was never bored. The casting is perfect and the acting is top-notch by every single character, big and small.
But, if I was a member of Lance Herndon's family, I would be very upset by the soap opera style telling of his murder.
The tone made me think of Nicole Kidman's "To Die For", which was a satire based on the Pamela Smart case. But this was the real Herndon story; It would've have been more appropriate to base this on his story instead of using his name and making it be so comedic.
