Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for crime fans and anyone who likes learning something new. Expect to bring it up in conversation afterwards. Same wavelength as O.J.: Made in America.
The mood
Gritty, eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

In April 2013, chaos erupted in Boston near the finish line of one of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathons. It was the worst terrorist attack on the United States since 9/11 and led to one of the most extensive and public manhunts in American history. Now, as the one-year anniversary approaches, National Geographic Channel presents a special two-hour event, Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers.
