Firstly, want to say that I am utterly bemused by the reviews saying that the acting is bad. It isn't, it's fantastic from everyone, particularly from Vera Farmiga and Cherry Jones. (One person gave it a rating of 1 because they didn't like the accents lol) 4 episodes in and the recreation of the conditions have been done so well you can almost smell how bad it must have smelled and you feel uncomfortable along with the characters. It is heartbreaking to see the conditions people were left in and the desperate efforts of the care givers as the situation worsened. Extremely well written and directed and the inter-cut scenes of real footage only add to the horror. As I said above, the acting is top level, the weight of responsibility on these actors to realistically convey the desperation was heavy and everyone involved delivers. I hope the show runners and the actors are recognised come award season.
