The American Revolution: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “What’s so astonishing about “The American Revolution” is how it deploys what has long been called the “Ken Burns effect” to an altogether sharper end... The new series is the best film out of Burns’s shop and, I suspect, the hardest to make.” – The New Yorker Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Manhunt: Season 1 (2024) 87% EDIT “The show’s engagement with the origin and the course of Reconstruction is serious and informed, and—from a historical and political perspective—the most interesting and distinctive aspect of the project.” – The New Yorker Mar 15, 2024 Full Review John Adams: Season 1 (2008) 83% EDIT “Animated as much by Adams's many private resentments as by the birth of the United States. It is history, with a grudge.” – The New Yorker May 21, 2018 Full Review
