i didnt watch past the first 20 minutes but am dvring the entire series. i get caught up in the slavishness to the ken burns style. same group of historians he has trotted out before, at least at first, same type of score and camera movement, same narrator. he weaves an interesting enough narrative and im sure to the non-student of history, myself included, it provides a lot of useful information.

it seems that historians are divided as well at the quality of his work, or they were regarding his civil war documentary which inspired an entire book to debate that point.
