Episode 2 still has too much commentary and it sounds like mostly interpretation of facts based on opinions the writers have of the historical events and not everyone will agree with their interpretations.. I was hoping that as the show progressed they'd allow the actors to tell more of the story, with just the basic fill in by narrator Jeff Daniels. It is a mediocre telling of George Washington at best.

Episode one: so far it is okay at best. The problem I found was there's too much commentary by too many different people, some who have no reason or standing to comment on such an important true story. It would have been much better to let one person narrate the areas necessary for any factual back stories, or allow the actors themselves play out much of that history and back story. Hopefully that develops more in episode 2 and 3, we'll see.
