“I really wanted to like this. In fact, I really want to like “You Must Remember This” but I can’t get through an episode without having to turn it off because of Longworth’s voice. When I read “Love & Crime” features Vanessa Hope (including the fabulous Zooey), it piqued my interest. Unfortunately Hope is as equally awful. Longworth has always done an excellent job of narrating as if her audience were 12 year olds, now it is even more punctuated. Hope is the granddaughter of the subjects and it sounds like she is reading from a scratch pad.
It is sad because this story is fascinating and goes down in the Hollywood books as one of the greatest. Aside from the voice overs, poorly executed.
Skip this and stream “Root of Evil” - that’s a family that can tell a story.”
