"The Final Year" is stirring and saddening, but too well behaved by half; I wanted it to be a little less Steven Pinker and a little more Dwayne Johnson. January 22, 2018 | Full Review…

A candid insider's view of the Presidency, enlightening about diplomatic processes during the recent past and completely humanistic at addressing the challenges society still faces. After watching, you'll yearn for politics to be this boring again. December 7, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…
