The showdown between Edward R Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Who should watch
History buffs. Anyone curious about journalism.
Thoughts
I liked everything about it, from the acting, to the dialogue, to its simplicity, to its themes about media, national security, and fear tactics. However, I was never blown away by it. Maybe it is because of my age, but I could not sense the urgency in one of the greatest victories for the pursuit of truth and freedom.
What I would change
Somehow give it an 'oomph' factor.
