Anyone else watching this? It's about the Getty family and directed by Danny Boyle. Donald Sutherland is brilliant in it, (but looks ancient), I remember when he was my crush after seeing Kelly's Heroes grin

Episode 1 was OK but I found 2 last night too “strong stuff” for me!
Wuss that I am.

Enjoyed episode 1, and watched 2 with some reservations, but have also now watched episode 3 on i.player and it was not at all pleasant to view. Not planning to watch any further at this stage

I'm enjoying it- love Donald Sutherland - great as the army hippy.

“Army hippy” Teetime*?
I thought he was plying Paul Getty confused

Wasn’t he in the film ‘Mash’? I haven’t caught up with ‘Truth’ after the first episode yet. It’s a good bit of casting, though.

I began watching this as I remember the kidnapping, and grew up only a few miles from Sutton Place (Getty's home) so it was local news as well as national news. I got so hooked in, thought the casting, acting and filming were all excellent, and ended up watching all 10 episodes on iPlayer. Well worth the commitment in my view! smile

By the way, what a horrible man Getty was!

I started to watch this yesterday and i am hooked. Such an oddball family!!! BBC3 on iplayer seem to have a talent for showing off the wall dramas at the moment. Great viewing IMO.
