My Review- The First Lady. My Rating - 7/10 for the series 10/10 for Michelle Pfeiffer's performance as Betty Ford. Before I begin my review of The First Lady I must say that in my opinion the writers and Producers missed out on one of the most interesting and notorious First Ladies Nancy Reagan.
I'm enjoying the show, learning things I did not know before & love the emphasis on the First Ladies. My biggest complaint, which seems to be everyone's opinion, is the poor casting of Viola Davis as Michelle Obama.
