I watched part of the first night, back in 1987. I got bored, and didn’t bother to watch the rest. If the SDMB’s token Catholic Republican thought it was a dull, hopelessly implausible waste of time, chances are you would, too. ---

I’ve never seen it; it wasn’t well-regarded at the time, and has never been released on DVD. VHS copies do sell for quite a bit of money on Amazon and eBay, or at least they did before someone put the series on You Tube.
