    I knew little about Bobby Kennedy and this four part documentary series was extremely insightful on who Bobby was. This itself is something great as you can dive into the man and almost feel what goes inside is head. The footage is incredible beautiful and nostalgic. I highly recommend this limited series.

    I'll keep this review short. The first 2 episodes were solid and informative. The second 2 dragged and ultimately this could have easily been condensed into 3 episodes. Great footage and Bobby seemed like a good man and a genuine and great leader, but the anecdotes and interviews from the cast were very bland and offered little insight.

    4/30/18. A nicely done documentary series about JFK's younger brother, the "runt" (as his father called him) who would be president. The 4 episodes cover the man behind the image. For those who were around in the '60s, Bobby was the amiable young idealist/activist who really cared about the social issues of the day. He was a much more passionate Kennedy than JFK. Sadly, he never had the chance to implement many of his ideas for social justice because he was assassinated 2 months after Martin Luther King was. Worth catching. Great archival footage that captured his boyish good looks and his humor to cover a nervous and charming personality. He would have made a good president.

    "If Lincoln didn't get us there, and Dr. King didn't get us there, and Bobby Kennedy didn't get us there, what the hell is left to say, that's going to have a rude awakening, to make a nation alive, and to greet the better part of itself? But we have to keep trying. And that's what Bobby Kennedy was really about. He was trying to find a solution."-- Harry Belafontefwiw, this netflix documentary was better than wormwood in that there were zero re-enactments.many times throughout this 4-part documentary, bias was shown in the form of choice of music, narration, and sequence. it did linger on some moments and ultra-compress others. what remains is a moving and largely factual account.
