I'm not sure how to feel about the actor playing Aaron. I think he's really good, but he doesn't seem much like Aaron physically and in his manner. He has a kind of innocence and sincerity about him, if that makes any sense. With that said, I don't have any memory of Aaron Hernandez before he was arrested, and I don't think I ever heard him talk. So maybe that child-like nature is true to who the real man was.

I see exactly what you're saying @lovinbob.  I watched a Netflix doc about AH, which had actual footage of AH speaking, etc. and he did not exhibit any of the softness and vulnerability the actor is showing in the miniseries.   

I agree that the actors doing a good job, but if you've seen the real AH, it takes a little imagination to see them as the same person.

I know the back story on AH, listened to podcasts, watched the Netflix doc and news shows (20/20, Dateline) that covered the case.  I liked some of the previous Ryan Murphy recreations of true events and being a true crime fan, this was a must watch.   Overall, I found it well done.  It dragged out some things, but the storytelling was fine.   I like the AH actor - he was really good.
