Quite frankly, after viewing this production, I was shocked we ever became a nation! This 13-part series is very well done. It focuses both on the military history and the political, while trying to reveal the points of view of a variety of people -- famous, infamous, and unknown. I learned many new things about the Revolution while watching it over the span of 2 weeks – one 45-minute episode a night (there’s a much shorter, final “how it was made” section). If you don’t have the time to watch all the episodes, I recommend you watch the last 2 installments (“Road to the Presidency” and “A President and his Revolution”) as they summarize the previous 11 episodes, albeit with a primary focus on Washington. Each episode can stand alone, and you will notice some repetition if you watch them all.
