Peter Hitchens on the miniseries on the Kennedys:

Finally, a glimpse of the real JFK

Why are many TV critics so rude about the mini-series on the Kennedy family, now approaching its end on BBC2? It’s far more honest about them than anything else I’ve ever seen on mainstream TV, and Tom Wilkinson’s portrayal of the monstrous patriarch and crook Joe Kennedy is superb. It isn’t Shakespeare, and isn’t meant to be, but it’s a fast-moving, concise account of a thrilling era and I can’t stop watching it, whereas most TV these days sends me to sleep. Perhaps it’s the honesty the critics don’t like.

JFK-worship is still all too common among our media classes. The family’s gangster connections, JFK’s appalling infidelity, the sinister Doctor Feelgood pumping the President and Jackie full of drugs, the horror story of the President’s lobotomised sister – and the towering figure of evil that was Joe – don’t quite fit the picture. But it’s all true.

Ah, this is the one that was prevented from being shown here in the U.S. because of the family's influence.
