Sombre True-Life Miniseries Has Slow Start, Struggles to Find Focus
The six-part British series, created by Jonathan Lee, follows the crash and investigation of Pan Am Flight 103, which was downed in Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988
The British series The Bombing Of Pan Am 103, out now on Netflix, assembles a solid cast of actors from both sides of the pond in a compelling drama that aims to cover it all. However, in doing so, the limited series struggles to find a voice and comes into its own in the climax as it shows the legal fight for justice. The emotional series, though dramatised, follows the incident from takeoff to the international courtrooms where two men were finally held accountable for the plane’s bombing. Creator and writer Jonathan Lee finds it hard to gain a foothold from the beginning, and the sombre series remains flat from thereon.
