Impractical practicality
I thought the show was a bit too slow to build up I only watched it because David Simon from the Wire was involved. It was wasn't bad but nothing amazing.

The history part is interesting though because I didn't recall FDR ever running against Lindbergh. Had to look it up but in reality for his 3rd term in 1940 Roosevelt ran against Wendell Willkie a moderate republican with no government experience and beat him in a landslide.

I wish the show had given some kind of history lesson about how Lindbergh was not a presidential candidate, and what made him run for office that would have been interesting. But the entire focus of the show is only on members of one family.
