Hillary – 7.5

A remarkably effective, and affecting, four-part documentary on the rise and fall of Hillary Clinton. Despite the participation of Hillary herself, the series presented a balanced view of her career, such that the feelings of loss I experienced were for the political decades we’ve lived through, not for Hillary herself. I’ll never forgive her for losing to Trump (any more than I will ever forgive George W. for his term as president), and the documentary provided some insight, whether intentional or not, as to how that happened. Unquestionably smart, strong and ambitious, she comes across as tone-deaf about how she’s perceived and rather cold, lacking in human warmth. And my gosh, that constantly changing hairstyle – what was that about?
