  • Yes, it's off to a great start.

    Don't miss it. Two episodes in, it's a masterpiece. Appears it'll be available to view anytime on the PBS website until December 15 -- at least that's what the screen says for each of the first two episodes. Says that even when I'm not logged in, so I'd guess it's probably not only for Passport members.
  • Yes, I just started it last night, to test it. But it was too late to begin. Tonight, then.
  • ...OMG OMG OMG. Even the violins while the credits roll is exquisite. Makes me want to weep.
  • It's remarkable how well it's being done without the benefit of any photography.

    It's amazing what they did on that score, so compelling. Ken B. and Sarah B. did an interview on Firing Line last Friday, and it came out that Sarah was the overall mastermind of the imagery. (Haven't sat thru all the credits yet to see how many names there are in that department.) Plus the reenactment scenes are effective without being overwhelming, at least to this kid.
