Background viewing for "Oppenheimer"

[kenny]

Both seasons of the 2014 mini-series, "Manhattan" is currently streaming, and included on Amazon Prime.
I'm watching it now.

Note: this is not a documentary in the sense that it only facts.
It's a drama, based on history.

Yes and no.

I just finished all two seasons.
I give it credit for recreating the time and place
Acting, sets, costumes, writing etc. were all great.
I was just hoping for more content about Oppie himself.
(I guess that's what the new 3-hr film is for.)

Overall it was quite good IMO.
But I would rather they eliminated most of the soap opera content.
That would have done the job in one season, instead of two.

It starts out sorta slowly, but gets very engrossing and exciting towards the end.
