If Roger Ailes was half the slime ball as portrayed by Russell Crowe, than Crowe did a magnificent job of playing him. So good a job that I found it hard to watch.
When the lead character is as loathsome as Ailes, it's hard to empathise or root for him or her. The fact that it is based on a true story doesn't help as I'm not sure what side of politics the producers are on.
I have no problem with the production, the script (it seems good) but I'm not sure of the agenda. Also, why they chose a Brit to play Murdoch is beyond me. Americans do better Aussie accents than the Brits.
The makeup got worse as the series progressed.
My rating is mid ground. It's stilk worth a look.
