s r @ScottR 04/20/2021 I recommend you take a nap before you watch this two part series. It was a fair portrayal of Jefferson and confronts the controversies that surround him. However, it may have spent too much time on issues that were not central to his identity, but rather were an agenda of Burns to cover. I did learn more about Jefferson and I appreciate its contribution to educating people about him. It was on my brother's DVD. See more 06/19/2013 Engrossing and superbly detailed account of the life, of one of our greatest presidents. Par for the course, for documentarian Burns. See more 08/28/2011 Excellent bio. Portrays Jefferson's genius as well as his flaws. Makes him a human being. Sam Waterston's readings were particularly exceptional. See more 01/21/2011 A very good documentary on the third president. A two part series it may seem long but it lives up to Ken Burns's attention to detail. Great series for history classes and can spark some debate on the reflection of today's liberties. Good for home schooled. See more 11/09/2010 An interesting history lesson of one of the brilliant minds that was instrumental in declaring independence for the United States and forming the democracy that has kept America strong for so long. Also representative of many Americans today... flawed, but at heart a good man. See more 07/19/2010 My favorite revolutionary. Ken Burns always provides an interesting look.
