True stories are hard to fictionalize because they are true but at the same time you aren't writing a documentary. There is a certain amount of guess work not to mention acting and actors involved. This whole project is an example of taking an intriguing and thrilling story and doing it right from the start. Ben Stiller is a wonderful director and he made sure to be as true to the material as he could be.
This is the story of the 2015 jailbreak from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora New York by two murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat. This is a limited series that spans about 7-1/2 hours, 5 of them are focused on what it actually took to escape from a high security prison. Anyone who thinks that is too much time doesn't understand the lengths these two men went and how many hours and how much work they actually did put in to escape. The story is also about Joyce "Tilly" Mitchell a prison employee who became their accomplis.
This is an incredibly well acted and well told story that is bound to get Patricia Arquette who plays Tilly award nods. She was spectacular in it. If you like true to live retelling I would definitely recommend this
