I thought the series was brilliant. I almost mentioned it in the thread on "movies that made you cry". I mean, you know what's coming, but still...
Maybe I'm just an old softie.
Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney are two of my all-time fave actors, so it was great to see them working together. Tom Wilkinson
was Benjamin Franklin. And I've been a David Morse fan since "St. Elsewhere".
I could've done without those "Batman" camera angles though...
I highly recommend watching it (or rewatching it) with the pop-up factoid option turned on. Good stuff!

P.S. Just the other week I got a chance to see David McCullough give a talk here in town. He was great! Quite funny and thought-provoking.
