Wife and I watched it last night on Prime. Overall, we liked it. I think Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem did a great job playing Lucy and Desi.
J. K. Simmons was f'ing perfect as William Frawley (the actor that played Fred Murtz).
I know a lot of critics claimed the jumping around in time was confusing, but I had no problem with it. Many docu-dramas are done that way. I swear, I think modern critics all think we're too stupid to follow a complex plot nowadays.
IT IS an Arron Sorkin film, so there's a lot of dialog you need to follow, and yeah, sometimes Javier Bardem lays on the Cuban accent a little thick to follow, but overall we enjoyed the hell out of it.
So happened my wife had recorded a Lucille Ball documentary a few weeks ago, so we watched that afterwards, and it was nice to get some more background from that.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
