Gids.tv review:
Entertainment score: 46% | IMDb 7.0
Let’s face it: Davis (Michelle Obama), Pfeiffer (Betty Ford) and Anderson (Eleanor Roosevelt) are all fantastic in their respective roles. Unfortunately, the three have little material to work well with. The problem with this series is that events that happened in real life might be a bit too “boring” to realistically translate into series form. It’s difficult to properly and respectfully translate “real” events into a fictional environment and this series shows why. Sometimes this 10 episode series is even a bit boring and the three ladies and the rest of the otherwise fine cast certainly don’t deserve this. 3 stars.

Viola Davis (The female king), Michelle Pfeiffer (Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania) and Gillian Anderson (The crown) play the main roles in this series. This production is directed by Aaron Cooley (The Phantom of the Opera).
