You just can't do justice to a controversial couple's lives over a 50-yr period in a 120-min treatment and that's one of the reasons this gets a middling rating. Too many major aspects of their lives and careers were simply glossed over. This was like a 2-hr teaser for the 10-hr docu-series it should've been. Maybe if you never heard of them you wouldn't be as miffed but then again, why watch this really if you never heard of them, that's kinda the point of this, to peel back their layers, to get behind the scenes of the headlines from back then. And it was the little things that picked at me hard, too, like Tammy Faye's makeup was infamously over the top but they barely showed that here. And Jim Bakker had the largest, square-ish glasses besides Elton John but that didn't show in the film at all.
