Tuned In: HBO’s ‘Paterno’ stirs up viewer reactions

If nothing else, viewers posting to social media could agree on one thing:

“The guy playing Jerry Sandusky looks JUST him!” wrote @MikeyT202 with many others agreeing that actor Jim Johnson closely resembles former Penn State football defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky whose sexual abuse of minors brought down iconic Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.

Al Pacino stars in HBO’s “Paterno,” which repeats at 7:30 p.m. Sunday on the premium cable channel.

“If they could have digitally put Joe Pesci’s voice in, only way to make Pacino any better! Lol” wrote @DoctorWu.
