3/4
It is full of fun little gems -- and sober reminders of the ugliness that coils beneath the surface of America's past -- that will make any serious Lincoln scholar take a few moments to stop and think. That, I suspect, is what Lincoln would have wanted. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 02/17/2021

03/08/2021 The information about Lincoln was informative and interesting. The testimonials and the narration were well done. Unfortunately, the background music was anything but background. It was too loud, too frequent, and simply overwhelmed the content of the show. Either fire the music editor or tell him to learn from Ken Burns. See more Read all reviews
