One of the best dramatic re-telling's of a historical event I've ever seen. I'm stingy with the 10 star ratings and reserve them for the Breaking Bad/GoT types, when it comes to TV, and I'm giving this 10, it's that good so far. The rest of the reviews do a great job regarding the accuracy of the show and the acting so I'll just keep this short and say I watch a lot of TV series (I travel for work) and this made me feel a way when watching it that very few things do, all while educating at the same time. How many new shows & movies can you say that about? I think that's more than enough to give the first episode a try, if you're on the fence. Powerful, extremely entertaining, riveting, and even educational...amazing.
