[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching episode 1 now and I’m into it! It’s my first Ken Burns so guess I’m officially old lol [/quote]

Go back and watch "The Civil War."

The PP is right.  This one is boring.  And that's coming from someone who is usually a big Ken Burns fan.[/quote]

The Civil War was really amazing.  This one is just less compelling, somehow.  I’m not sure if it’s my own over-familiarity with the subject matter, or what.  I keep finding my attention drifting.  [/quote]

The subject is much bigger than the Civil War. It's far more complex and there are far more characters involved. It's amazing in that most Americans have no clue that the Revolutionary War was really a Civil War. Most people don't realize how everyone involved was screwed and most soldiers were treated poorly and never paid. Most people have no clue about the stasi like machine watching, controlling, intimidating citizens in to agreeing with the Revolution even though most people were neutral. [/quote]
