I’ve been watching this today as I’m packing for a flight to the UK tomorrow. Probably not the best timing.

My dad was in the Air Force stationed in England at the time. He said a buddy of his had a ticket for that flight but had to cancel due to an unplanned drill. I couldn’t imagine that feeling.

Thirty-five Syracuse students died in that attack. This is the memorial on campus.

I may check it out, but good Lord, six episodes? Seems like this could’ve been a 90 minute documentary.

I would normally agree with you. Hell, I just watched a documentary about this ever last week.

This series went to a level I hadn’t considered before, so very thought provoking.

Wanting to check this out. My first job out of college in 1994 I worked with a guy whose finance was on that flight.

Excellent series. Burned thru entire series in one sitting over the weekend. Great job in showing the toll it took on the surviviors and investigators of the crime (people of Lockerbie were amazing). Loved how characters developed (and left) over the years. Impressive how all the detectives (for lack of a better word) were able to piece together the evidence and bring (some) to justice. and sheesh the CIA.

Love me some Merrit Wever, she's great in everything.

One of the passengers was 18 year old Courtney Johns, sister of writer and former DC Comics President Geoff Johns, who created the Stargirl Courtney Whitmore character in his sister's honor.

Saw it last night, it was great. Felt as long as it took to bring that dude to trial.

I wasn’t able to finish it before I left, but I thought it was really well made and I’m looking forward to finishing it after my trip. I’m not very familiar with the bombing, so I appreciate how many perspectives we are given.

Watched the first 4 episodes last night.

The first one was the best. It started to drag after that. Will finish it tonight.

I watched the first two episodes, and its really well done.

Personally I have my doubts about the official narrative that Libya orchestrated the bombing of Pan Am 103.

Just finished this. It was great but it left me pretty sour. Those guys got off easy. Took a decade to catch them and let one go and the other served less than a decade. I really wish I hadn’t researched it. The documentary really had me respecting Scotland and then I realized those buttholes released the bomber over a trade deal with Gaddafi? Screw them.

No. And I just noticed that I had a typo. It was his fiance that died on the plane. The guy's last name was Noel.
