I only saw the first episode. I think it covers a crime from 1965 or 66. I won't be watching anymore.
Evidently the producers believed that EVERYONE smoked cigarettes AT ALL TIMES back then. The re-enactments were devoide of acting or drama, but were just assorted scenes of people smoking. I need something more substantial and considerably less unpleasant than that to hold my attention.
It's a shame, really, as the series sounded interesting and I thought that it had potential. I was even willing to accept its tabloid approach for the sake of an interesting story. The endless cloud of cigarette smoke interfered with any story or emotion the show could have offered.
