 This Netflix production is excellent. It is about the Atlanta Olympics bombing. I almost didn't watch it as I had seen Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell, but I am very glad I did. This series though, is not just about Jewell, but the search for the real bomber. It also shows the disdain the FBI has for any other type of law enforcement. Especially good in this series is the part played by a seasoned ATF agent who doggedly pursues the truth, and is convinced Jewell was not the bomber. Well worth watching. And....knowing I may be bringing wrath upon me....I think it's better than Eastwood's very good film.

 my mind started comparing every_single_character to the movie's characters. I'm sure the ntflx prodn is first rate but there's way too many shows in the Q ahead of it. Fan of the Eastwood film.

 Only better in the sense that it adds the hunt, and capture, of the actual Olympics bomber. Nothing at all wrong with Eastwood's movie. The ONLY thing that was a little better (IMO) was that in Eastwood's movie, Jewell's mom was supportive of him on from the get go, In the series, his mom, early on, actually thought he was the bomber. I wonder which was true.
