I finished watching episode 4 last night and thought it was entertaining. However very lacking on substance. Every time the story would move to something where something could have been revealed it just jumped forward.
It made a real attempt to paint Hussein Kamal as a victimized character, I disagree with that presentation of him. I would have been more interested in Uday and Qusay, but again it was very glossed over.
Perhaps a lot of the glossing over was due to not knowing the facts and not wanting to become a total work of fiction? I did think that Saddam was well acted and the visual presentation was great. It was very enjoyable to watch just for the presentation, even if the story lacked any real depth.
