Solid mini-series. Watch it if you have just the slightest interest in this period of history and of course JFK...

Yes, it borders a little on the melodramatic, and Katie Holmes has a tendency towards overacting (joined by the generally-solid Barry Pepper), but Wilkinson and Kinnear put in good performances and the whole thing ticks over with an easy, glossy view of history that's entertaining if not imbued with aspirations towards documentary realism.
