The story of the most fabled political family in American history, told in a manner similar to The Godfather: a manipulative, egocentric father determined to live out his own ambitions through his sons, who in turn spent their lives dancing to his tune while at the same time trying to stand on their own. This is history through personality - the tangled relationships through which paint a picture of one of the most turbulent periods of the modern age. Viewers will be upstairs at the White House, not in the Cabinet Room. Through iconic events in history - the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights struggle, the mob connection - viewers will learn about the lesser known, yet critical personal stories.

Is anybody watching this min-series on the Reelz Channel?

It's historical accuracy is under fire and it is causing controversy but Kinnear and Pepper are doing an excellent job portraying JFK and Bobby Kennedy. I am enjoying it so far.

I thought she captured the essence of Jackie very well. Stoic, soft spoken, etc.

Nothing new that we didn't already know, except I was mildly surprised that they portrayed Bobby as racked by guilt by Jack's murder. And that he seemed to have a crush on Jackie.

When I worked near Grand Central I always used to see JFK Jr. walking down Park Ave, or riding his bike with his backpack on his shoulder. He was so handsome <sigh>.
