'A work of complete fiction': History Channel's revamped

The first part in the History Channel's two-part miniseries , Bonnie & Clyde, aired on Sunday night , and it was at times a beautiful mess – at least according to the critics.

The miniseries , which stars Emile Hirst as Clyde Barrow and Holliday Grainger as Bonnie Parker , takes considerable liberties with historical accuracy, accoding to several reviews, casting Bonnie as a failed actress and Clyde as a criminal who can see into the future. The show – which Television Without Pity is careful to point out is not a direct remake of the 1967 film Bonnie & Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway – airs in three installments, culminating on Dec. 22. Below , a taste of what the critics have had to say about the show thusfar.

The Los Angeles Times was perhaps the most overt in its indictment of the show's factual foibles, writing that. “Historical accuracy shouldn't be the expectation of anybody watching Holliday Grainger and Emile Hirsch play Bonnie and Clyde. This pure entertainment.”
