Nathan T. @RT17232145 Apr 12 Outstanding acting and performance. See more David J @Robin55 Jul 31 I love this series. It was a classic and I would recommend. See more Trevor T @RT25791882 04/29/2023 Pretty good. Quite enjoyed it. There are problems however with historical accuracy. Particularly it over emphasises the part slavery played in the origins of the American Civil War. See more Read all reviews
