To clarify what I said earlier in the topic, the portrayals that I thought were distracting were the three...
The only ones that disturbed me were Tripp, Bill Clinton, and Paula Jones. The rest were theatrical norm.
As far as Monica, she was one of the program producers, and its been reported she had substantial input, so she rang true for me.
I expected the final episode to be a bit anti climatic, and it was. The acting was still really solid but unlike the previous episodes where the devil was in the details, so to speak, there really wasn't much to add to what is already known. I was thinking combining the events of episodes 9 & 10...
Here's Slate Magazine's take:
The grand jury is presented with a chart outlining what sexual contact occurred between Monica and Bill organized by date. However, Starr’s team, pushed by young member Brett Kavanaugh, feels the descriptions of the sexual encounters are too vague and Monica’s...

I'm watching playoff baseball today, but I'll go back and transcribe some of the dialog.
You know what they say, you see what you want to see, you hear what you want to hear. Maybe because I know how it turns out, that everyone admitted everything in the end, that's what I heard? We shall see...
I find it interesting that both you & I are enjoying the series, but we reacted differently to the name dropping. I thought it was done well, little footnotes that connect to the here and now. Maybe it would help younger viewers to relate better?
She certainly did. But remember, they weren't after her, she was just the instrument to get Clinton.
The Office of Independent Counsel wanted Tripp to get Monica to say 'she wanted Tripp to lie', (like Monica did, and like Clinton did in the Paula Jones lawsuit) when asked about her knowledge...

The story...
Hard to disagree with what others have already said about episode 4.
Yes, episode 4 was the best so far; even the title, "The Telephone Hour" was a great call. Pun intended. Not sure if others here remember, but there was a radio and then TV program on NBC from 1940 to 1968, called "The Bell...
