I guess there are more people that have nothing better to do with their lives than I ever knew - both producers, and consumers.
This would have been a pretty good 2 (or even 2-1/2) hour movie, but instead it is like that sushi that expands to take up all the available room in your mouth - it expands to take up 7 hours of your life, whether it needs those 7 hours or not (Hint: It does not).
This kind of cinema is like buying consulting on a cost-plus basis - I ask how many hours worth of money you have to spend, and I spend exactly that much money for that many hours. I guess Flanagan got paid for a 7-hour miniseries, so that's what he delivered.
Does it matter that there is only 2 hours worth of film in those 7 hours? I guess not - this thing has a 7.8 rating. I guess I am one of the only ones who values his time.
