By George Dickie No matter your opinion of Hillary Clinton, you will feel like you know her a lot better after watching "Hillary." Premiering Friday, March 6, on Hulu, the four-part docu- mentary from director Nanette Burstein ("On the Ropes," "The Kid Stays in the Picture") offers an up-close-and-personal view of the former first lady, U.S. senator, Secretary of State and presidential candidate through intimate interviews with her, friends, family (in- cluding her husband, former President Bill Clinton), con- temporaries (including former President Barack Obama), staff and journalists, as well as never- before-seen footage from her presidential campaign in 2016. All the major events in her life and career — good and bad — are covered, includ- ing her time as first lady, her unsuccessful push for universal health care, her campaign for women's rights, Whitewater, her run for the Senate, ap- pointment as Secretary of State, Benghazi, the email fiasco that undermined her presidential campaign and her husband's sexual misconduct with intern Monica Lewinsky and subse- quent impeachment. In each case, Clinton is unflinching and candid in her accounts and only once, when discussing her hus- band's infidelity, does she get emotional. Of course, it is important to bear in mind that this is all her side of the story but the docu- mentary is nonetheless a fasci- nating portrait of a consequen- tial woman, one who provokes strong opinions and emotions pro and con. And doing the film gave her another theory as to why that is, as she told a recent gathering of journalists in Pasadena, Calif. "I became a kind of Ror- schach Test for women and women's roles as soon as I burst onto the public scene when Bill was running for president," she says. "I'd lived more than 40 years before that, and I had no real understanding of what it meant to be thrust into this highest, brightest platform and try to live your life and kind of go along with what you'd always done." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop Hulu's 'Hillary' profiles the woman, the public figure, the lightning rod Cover Story Cover Story By Jay Bobbin As a parent himself, Martin Freeman has more than a bit of experience in the subject of his new comedy series. The alum of "Sherlock," "Fargo," "Love Actually," the "Hobbit" movies and numerous other projects teams with Daisy Haggard ("Back to Life") as a constantly harried British couple whose kids (George Wakeman, Jayda Eyles) sometimes — well, make that "often" — get the bet- ter of them in FX's "Breeders," premiering Monday, March 2. Michael McKean plays Haggard's estranged dad, with Joanna Ba- con and Alun Armstrong as Free- man's mother and father. A related dream had by Free- man led to the development of "Breeders" by executive producer and director Chris Addison. Their meetings, which also in- Checking in with Martin Freeman cluded executive producer and writer Simon Blackwell, became what Freeman deems "a fathers' support group, where we would kind of talk a lot about what we saw essentially as our failings. We talked about some of the worst things we had done or what happened to us as parents that could be turned, hopefully, into a comedic thing." Some of the show's raw lan- guage clearly was questionable to use around the younger "Breed- ers" co-stars. "If there was a lot of cursing in a scene, we'd do a cleaned- up-dialogue version," Freeman explains, "then once the kids left, we'd have to do the swearing. We tried to keep it as fun as possible, but there were also times where you had to instill in them that this was serious. Because they are kids — and very happy, playful kids — that was the role of the directors, to sort of get them in the (more dramatic) zone, be- cause there was a lot of laughter."
