Profile of The Kennedys
The Kennedys can be described as thought provoking, contemplative, and stylized. The plot revolves around a head of state, Americana, and politics. The main genres are drama, period, and historical. In terms of style, The Kennedys is a mini-series, stars an ensemble cast, and is talky. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The storytelling is slow paced. The Kennedys is set, at least in part, at the White House. It is located in Washington DC. It takes place in the 1960s. The Kennedys is drawn from a biography and originally a true story. The TV show has received attention for being controversial and an Emmy winner.
Summary of The Kennedys
History Channel's first scripted series tells the story of the most fabled political family in American history, told in a manner similar to The Godfather: a manipulative, egocentric father determined to live out his own ambitions through his sons, who in turn spent their lives dancing to his tune while at the same time trying to stand on their own. This is history through personality - the tangled relationships through which paint a picture of one of the most turbulent periods of the modern age. Viewers will be upstairs at the White House, not in the Cabinet Room. Through iconic events in history - the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights struggle, the mob connection - viewers will learn about the lesser known, yet critical personal stories.
