Okay, let's talk Impeachment: American Crime Story. You know, the one about the whole Clinton-Lewinsky thing.
So, How Many Episodes Are We Talking?
Ten. There are ten episodes of this dramatized deep dive into the 90s. That feels like... a lot.
Don't get me wrong, the acting is great. And the story is, well, captivating in a train-wreck kind of way.
But Is Ten *Really* Necessary?
Here's where my slightly unpopular opinion comes in. I think it could've been shorter.
Like, maybe seven? Eight tops? Hear me out!
Sometimes, I felt like certain scenes lingered a little too long. We get it, tension! But my snacks are running low.
Too Much Drama?
I'm not saying the drama wasn't there. Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, Linda Tripp - it was a whirlwind.
But, like a really good, juicy burger, sometimes you just want to get to the point.
Did we *need* to see every single anguished look? Every nervous phone call? My attention span is only so long!
My Controversial Opinion
Okay, brace yourselves. I think a tighter edit would have made it even better.
Imagine: less filler, more killer plot points. A faster pace that keeps you glued to the screen.
A concentrated dose of 90s scandal that leaves you breathless, not slightly bored during episode seven.
Am I Alone In This?
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe everyone else was perfectly content with ten full episodes.
Maybe they savored every dramatic pause and awkward encounter.
But I suspect, deep down, some of you feel me. A little trimming wouldn't have hurt.
The Actors, Though!
Let's give credit where credit is due. The cast was phenomenal!
Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky? Amazing. Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp? Unrecognizable (in a good way!).
And Clive Owen as Bill Clinton? He nailed that folksy charm... and everything else.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, ten episodes of Impeachment: American Crime Story. A wild ride, for sure.
Would I watch it again? Probably. I'm a sucker for true crime dramas.
But next time, I might fast-forward through a few of those extra-long scenes. Just saying.
The Verdict?
It's good. Definitely worth watching. Just maybe pack extra snacks for the long haul.
And be prepared to have some *strong* opinions about Linda Tripp's hair.
Because, let's be honest, that wig deserves its own spin-off.
