Manhunt: Deadly Games [View all]

a 1 season series that tells the story of the Atlanta Olympic bombing and the victim Richard Jewell as well as the real perp and serial bomber, Eric Rudolph.

While I kind of knew the story, this series really illuminated the whole record of how this poor bastard Jewell was falsely tagged by the FBI when he was an actual hero of the event where his action saved maybe hundreds of lives.

It really examines the whole story, media/LEO collusion to falsely incriminate Jewell. Acting was really good and the dialog is excellent.


One thing that really surprised me was the FBI cooperation with the Regulators (a local militia in the NC wilderness (?). This was like, the anti-Waco, where they joined sides to bring this psycho to justice.
