Historical accuracy is spotty but the characters and story are compelling

One of my favorite miniseries of all time-right up there with Shogun, Roots, and Centennial. An amazing cast bring great books and characters to life. The settings are stunning, the story compelling and suspenseful, even funny and poignant at times, and the issues are still relevant today. Episode four offers twists and turns that heighten tension and propel the series from the midpoint into a spiraling descending arc of great drama that keeps you wanting more.
