It’s hard to assess much of the acting here because most of the actors are confined by a script that swings between harsh judgments and moments of deep sentimentality that almost feel as if they were included to be compensatory.
The Kennedys: After Camelot is as cheesy as an all-you-can-eat fondue buffet.

I know the critics hated this mini-series, but it has much more plot than the movie Jackie, which was just more of what we already know about the Kennedy assassination. Perhaps Matthew Perry isn't the best dramatic actor, but Katie Holmes is charming as Jackie Kennedy, and one gets some insights here as to what attracted Jackie to Aristotle Onasis, as well as what a cad Teddy Kennedy was. Enjoyable to watch.

SEASON 1
The only thing worth while in this mess is Katie Holmes. She does a great job in the role of Jackie. But Matthew Perry isn't bad... he is horrible. Unwatchable. And in this whole film where the hell is Caroline? Barely mentioned.. never seen. From the writing to the acting.. a complete waste of time.

SEASON 1
A two-night, four-hour mess lacking in dramatic structure or emotional and thematic beats. You can at least sense that in the Chappaquiddick incident, producer Jon Cassar had something he wanted to build to, but even that scandal is limitedly consequential, and the second night proves particularly formless.
Even Bravo has too much class for this four-hour misery. ... Holmes and Donahue share some affecting moments, but the miniseries has no imagination and re-creates tabloid snapshots.
The reality is that the material is never more than a boilerplate biopic, plodding along with a conventional set up and a schmaltzy score that tries to infuse emotion where it hasn’t been earned.
Turns out the best way to experience this absurd, horribly written, curiously acted soap opera is to keep your humor about you, to jeer-watch as the characters become tabloid parodies.
The original “The Kennedy’s” was a well-written and acted mini-series that deserved the Emmy nominations and awards the show received. “After Camelot” is a major disappointment resembling a third-rate soap opera.
The only salvation to this two-part program is Katie Homes reprising her role as Jackie Kennedy
