If the series continues in this way, I suspect it will be a starmaker along the order of POLDARK and approaching DOWNTON ABBEY. Well formed characters, beautiful period detail, and a keen knowledge that human issues -- love, anger, fear, greed, desperation, pride, stupidity, transformation, etc. -- persist even in the midst of crisis. The Civil War is seen from a fresh perspective that is grueling and more intimate.
Excellent performances by actors with whom I'm not yet familiar. It's a shame the producers do the cast a huge disservice in the credits. In the first episode, there is a teenage soldier clutching a flagpole he has held since he fought alongside his dad. Then there is a wounded soldier whose crisis is key in unfolding the story of a Black character and the attitudes of others toward race. The crappy credits simply read: Union Soldier #1, Union Soldier #2, and on. Really? How lazy and short-sighted.
