Reviews (2)
Masterful political tension, a tug of war and a clash of two different ideologies and cultures of the top leaders of one of the oldest countries in the world versus the most powerful. Great portrayal of the influence of women and their ability to pull a crowd and individuals together. I do have some reservations about the style in which JFK was portrayed and especially acted, but that's secondary.

The episode shifted focus back to foreign policy as the major players divided up Africa. The creators scored points with me twice: first, by casting Dexter as JFK, which pleasantly surprised me, and second, by wisely avoiding the overused footage of the assassination.
