The Kennedys

[LancsMike]

Anyone else been watching it ?

 

Like it ? Love it ? Hate it ?

 

Personally leaning toward the 1st option so far, curious to hear others thoughts

Some show mate i think it is well made the acting is very good, and as much as i know about the Kennedy's the story's quiet accurate.

Old Jo was one bad old c**t

The Kennedy family tryed very hard to discourage many networks here in the states from airing the series. Only one cable network was able to afford it and the press for the series here in the states has been almost Nil. For the first time in recent political history No Kennedy is currently in office. It took a while but what is left of the family here is all but for gone. All political familys come and go. wired forsmoke you were very correct about Old Joe K, he was very ruthless and nothing stood in his way for long.

joe kennedy was the US ambassador to britain at the start of the war and said we wouldnt last two weeks.

He was also fond of Hitler and had some not so nice business dealings with Germany before 9-1-1939.

What he done to his daughter said it all, plus he had many an affair close to home.

I've yet to meet a very good businessman that hasn't made some money from shady [be it illegal, unethical or both] dealings, problem with '' big '' business is that it breeds a lack of ethics, its only smaller scale for example people like us that were able to use our morals and principles.

[easy-lift guy]

It's a choice for power and $$$. The Kennedys sold out there ethics/principles a long time ago. I like to sleep at night with both eyes closed, not wondering who is going to come after me next or who I am going to stick it to next. Loose Loose. They did and now they are a sad chapter of American/World history that will be read about for generations to come.

Too true really Easy-Lift, it's just a shame really that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and for all of Jack and Roberts flaw's I don't think they deserved to pay for it the way they did - regardless of how they carried on.

[easy-lift guy]

This may be true. I believe when and if the records are released regarding the deaths of both persons it will be a C change in the history of the USA, unless of course things are all tidey up or the records are lost. Time has a bad habit of that sort of thing occuring.
