CriticsCritics: 86
AudienceAudience: 7.3

When a government cover-up spanning four presidencies comes to light, a newspaper publisher and her determined editor face a consequential choice about reporting the truth. Their decision brings the newspaper into an unprecedented clash with the government, while the publisher navigates the challenges of leading in a world where women are often underestimated.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like history-based political dramas about journalism, moral choices, and women challenging expectations; Not for you if you want fast action, a surprising plot, or consistently high tension.
