I have been watching and think it is pretty good. Fair and impartial, an honest look at an imperfect man.

I was wondering what people thought of his handling the Cuban missile crisis. The documentary presented three options: Attack Cuba, bomb missile sites and naval blockade the island. Kennedy went with blockade and negotiation with Nikita Khrushchev. A deal is made to remove the missiles but the U.S. also withdraws missiles from Turkey. What do you think Trump or Biden would do?

We just got through with the Stephen King series 11.22.63. It was very good. It's about a guy who goes back in time to try and stop the Kennedy assassination. Things don't work out as expected.

It's a little light on some facts but it does use the main threads of the conspiracy theories about the assassination.
