    • Trivia
      At one point the film was scheduled by Showtime to premiere after the 2020 Presidential election. Jeff Daniels threatened to refuse promotion of the movie if that was the case, stating that the decision was a slap in the face to the cast and crew that had worked hard in order to get the film completed before the election. It was ultimately scheduled to premiere September 27, 2020.

    Focus is on Comey, NOT Trump
    The 2-part series is not an attack on Trump but rather a presentation of how institutions, procedure, and rule of law work in America. The first part focuses on Hilary emails before the election, while the second part focuses on Comey's work after Trump gets elected.

    It's an honest portrayal that's worth watching. The focus is repairing public faith in the FBI and DOJ.
