Austin FF and Nicholl coverage:
* "Overall, this story, though sometimes challenging to keep up with, is a satisfying tale of the people who refuse to witness injustice and do nothing, which feels both topical and timeless."
* "This is an interesting and frustrating true story and a topic that hasn’t been explored much in media. It has political intrigue, conspiracy, action and thriller elements, humor, etc. It’s a pretty complicated story, but also one with plenty of potential. Approaching a complicated story like this through the eyes of a character like Joe Moakley is smart and makes this work."
* "Joe Moakley is a great character, funny and tough and very likeable. The script does a good job of helping him come to life through skillful strokes like the recurring mangling of his nickname – all of which still underline his tenaciousness – and by well-chosen stories from his past to illustrate his moral character in a down-to-earth, specific, human way. I also admired Joe’s cleverness in varying his strategies to work with, around, and against the system when necessary."
