NavyGuyI watched and it does have left wing lean. I though it was interesting and a better use of 1.5 hours than most crap on TV these days. There was a lot of shit going on in that time period and it's hard to figure out who the good guys and bad guys are. I though it more depicted the corruption in Chicago, which was rampant in that ear. I lived there during these times and what we know now is completely different than the media reported. Hmm that sound familiar.
