Showtime ran them all the other day, wife expressed interest, so I recorded them all. Weather was crap the last couple days, so we watched them.
Not ‘Bad’, but way too much style over substance. I’d have rather watched a Ken Burns documentary on this subject, and have less jiggy. Not a whole lot happens till the finally. Coulda wrapped this up in 1-2 hours. No reason for 7 episodes. One thing I’ve noticed: Anything that credits Executive Producer as the same person who stars, usually a huge scenery chewing vanity project. And this was. But it was watchable.
I gotta say, however, John Brown around episode 3, before he got real shaggy, is the spitting image of my dead brother. Eerie!
Surprised there isn’t a thread already. But I really shouldn’t be.
