Linda Stasi raves in the New York Post:
“The Kennedys” is the best miniseries you almost weren’t allowed to see.
And considering the size of the cable network ReelzChannel’s usual audience, chances are you may still not see it.

But the miniseries — starring Greg Kinnear as JFK, Barry Pepper as Bobby, Katie Holmes as Jacqueline and Tom Wilkinson as Joseph Sr. — is without a doubt one of the best, most riveting, historically accurate dramas about a time and place in American history that has ever been done for TV.
The eight-hour, $25 million project — produced by Joel Surnow, the guy who brought you “24” — was originally commissioned by the History Channel and then killed off by ABC, which owns much of the cable channel, after it was completed.
ReelzChannel picked it up at a fire-sale price. Why? There are more conspiracy theories floating around about that than the Kennedy assassination itself.
After watching it, I no longer believe the one about Caroline Kennedy killing it off. Despite Surnow having Hollywood’s most robust right-wing credentials, the movie — which is brutally honest about power-mad old Joe and his anti-Semitic, Hitler-apologist stance — is pretty much the true story.
The series opens on Election Day — and immediately establishes the idea that the old man was in total control.

“The Kennedys” airs April 3rd on Reelz.
