7/10
A bit too Hallmark
19 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I cringed a bit at the soft focus, soft music bits. But the really grating section featured the psychiatrist who treated Laura for her "nervous breakdown". How could Perry possible intuit that he had faked her illness, and given her inappropriate drugs and ECT because he was "in love with her"? Why wasn't a rival psychiatrist put into the witness box, eg the one who'd "written the book" on what we now call bipolar disorder? Would this doctor be sued for criminal negligence? How much damage did he do to Laura?

Also, what will happen to Laura in the end? "Taken downtown" and interviewed, bailed, eventually judged guilty only of "accidental manslaughter"? Given a light sentence - community service maybe? Well, she'll never be a Senator now!

I'll watch all of these, though, for the presence of Burr, Stiers, Hale, Katt and others. And I LOVE the shoulder pads!
