This series smacks of 1970s made-for-TV movie. It has all the same awkwardness plus a lot of gratuitous yelling. Coworkers yell at each other, moms yell at kids, dog owners yell at dogs... the list goes on.
Between all the yelling there are tense silences that are supposed to impress upon us how difficult a reporter's job is. So difficult that she needs a constant supply of vodka while she ignores, snaps at, or is downright rude to everyone around her.
They somehow managed to make this scandal boring. I guess because they focused on "getting the interview" and "waking up the boss at 2 am for no apparent reason" and "stony silences that supposedly reveal inner thoughts" instead of on the peculiar uniqueness of Prince Andrew's character and situation, and the incredible story of one of his victims, as well as the news media, standing up to ancient institutions of power and privilege.

I can't believe this film even got made. It's like a weird elementary school book report assignment.
It starts with a woman stating an address, telling you in two sentences what happened there, and then stating another address. For FOUR hours.
No interviews. No maps of the city so you can even see how these addresses relate to each other. No historic footage. Nothing. Half the time she tells the address, says what happened, then says "demolished." At which point you realize you're not even seeing the address she's talking about.
If you like memorizing disconnected sound bytes with unrelated montages of Amsterdam in 2020, this film is for you. I can't believe I paid money for this. In fact, I'm going back to Amazon to try to get a refund. It's that bad.
