I have no doubts about the veracity of these ten men sharing what they experienced with actor Kevin Spacey in terms of sexual harassment and/or misconduct. My disappointment comes from the craftsmanship of this "series." It's two episodes, about 50 minutes each. The first touches a little on Spacey's childhood - which is critical - and the second deals with his later work at London's "The Old Vic." The first group of accusers are American men, the latter are British. The second episode repeats some of the same moments from the first. A reporter by the window checking his phone, another reporter pacing in a conference room... Some of the lines from Spacey's accusers are repeated, too.
Perhaps most bewildering is the huge bombshell dropped by his brother in the middle of the second episode, there one minute and gone the next, never to be revisited.
This could have been an excellent feature documentary, with more insight into Spacey's childhood trauma. It could have avoided the repetition that cheapened the stories shared by his accusers. And it just sort of ends, having really arrived nowhere, revealing nothing more than these ten sad stories of sexual impropriety.
6/10.
