I find with these documentaries that while they often contain interesting factoids here and there, they meander and never make a significant and convincing point. Can't justify spending 8 hours on this.
Oh thanks for the clarification! That was not immediately obvious to me, though in hindsight it does say Part 1. I agree, that is quite the time investment. Like any mini-series, the first segment really needs to nail it to keep the viewer coming back. I share some of your sentiments.
