The Comey Rule

I watched the actual Comey say Gleeson was convincing as the "intimidating" Trump most of us don't get to see. To me the result was a bit too one-dimensional, however, as Trump's signature clownish presence is all but missing and he comes off as a straight-up villain rather than the tragicomic mess he is in real life.

Intriguing political saga is cursed and blessed by Comey's involvement - at its best (and most gripping) detailing the inner minutiae of FBI procedural details, but the domestic scenes, and its hagiographic portrait of Comey, are a little overwritten and overdone. Gleeson makes for a persuasive Trump, though as he remains a bland cipher (as true to life as it may be), a certain level of inscrutability is inevitable. Crackerjack supporting cast down the line, with typically nice work from Hunter.

This is just pure liberal propaganda. Interesting Showtime would air it right before the elections. Everything is so exaggerated it's almost comedy. But as a work of fiction it was entertaining at least.
