I wanted to turn it off, but it kept my attention enough to bring me back every commercial break, so I might watch it next week if I remember.

I was a little young when all of this went down in the 90s, so I really don't know much about the case other than the occasional pop culture references. I bet they went though a lot of trouble replicating memorable shots and events from the case, but it will all be lost on me.
Maybe I'm typcasting Schwimmer, but I can't imagine him doing any type of dramatic role. I died laughing when I saw in him Band of Brothers. Sure, he did a good job of portraying somebody who couldn't do his role and inspire those under his command, but I just couldn't imagine the character making it so far in the military.

Schwimmer knows how to be a doofus. He is only meant for comedic roles.
