Awful. Just awful. I couldn't watch more than 15 minutes. I suppose there comes a time in every big name actor's career where they just can't act anymore and basically just play themselves. I think Tom Hanks might be at that stage. But I'm okay with that because I love Tom Hanks. That being said, I've always enjoyed Michael Douglas in roles, most recently The Kominsky Method. He was really very good in that. I did not get the "I'm just me playing me" vibe even though he was playing an actor. THIS however, was just painful to watch. His voice, his delivery, all of it, was just off. I learned the little I know about Franklin's stay in France from HBO's John Adam's so I was looking forward to learning more! Not from this show.
