I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but it is inspired by true events, so obviously artistic liberties were taken with some things. I guess if you didn't already know the US government brought Nazis over then you'd find it surprising. The season spans 10 eps, and it was around 2 eps too long, it definitely threw off the pace. The twists were pretty easy to figure out, but I did not like that enough of the twists weren't fully resolved.
The cast is pretty great too, and they all worked well together. I enjoyed the thoroughly-deranged, cuckoo for cocoa puffs character of Travis. His character was both horrifying and completely entertaining.
Seriously, Amazon, announce a 2nd season! I want to know what happens after the events of season 1.

I'm sad to say that this film was seen mainly because it was a new and I was running desperately low on things to see. It looked like it might be interesting. But being as I'm terrible with motion sickness, the prospect of watching a film where a significant proportion was going to be bobbing up and down didn't leave my stomach with much enthusiasm.
I wasn't left with much to say about this one. Again, it seems wrong to say I didn't like a story that's based on true life events, but I came away with very little to rave about. It's an interesting insight into how competitive pressure from sponsors and the team change the way events can go, but the film itself wasn't overly memorable.

This story is slow when you begin. Though, it does get better as you read. The plot is more interesting once the action starts. The main characters are a bit interesting. The clans are more telling. Hearing about the story of a father's death and how it connected in the book. It brings out the more about the historical events of the true crimes and what happens at the courthouse that triggers it all.
If you are a historical fiction fan or crime fan this book, is for you. I hope you have the heart to take all the death and crime that takes place. Ava and Jeremiah seem to be pulled into trouble that may have all started with a kiss. But who kiss starts a feud between families and clans? Ava story reporting that starts it when there a rift. What may have brought on a courthouse massacre?

A creepy novella that I found fun to read. I wasn't so keen on all the sudden turn of events. The beginning of the story was drawn out and really let you into the narrators life whereas it just seemed to get rushed towards the end.
Thrilling and different. It was a nice change to the things I'm used to reading.
