Felt compelled to write a review after seeing all the fuss about it being the "highest rated tv show". First point - the source material. It's not original so cannot be compared to original works like breaking bad, soprano's, the wire etc. It's a retelling of historical events. Hardly a creative masterpiece. Think about it people. Second point - it's five episodes. Sustain it for 5 seasons and we'll talk about "best tv show ever". Third - Yes, the accents. Seriously? And people rave about it being authentic. Fourth - being 5 episodes, character development takes a hit. Can't say I was emotionally attached to any character. I should have been (given the severity of what was going on) but yet I wasn't. Biggest "feels" were for the old lady in the barn when her cow got shot.

As a mini-series, it's fine. A good watch, nicely shot if a little slow-paced. But don't fall for the hype. For the people rating it 10/10 - have a word with yourselves please.
