WAY Over-rated. Everyone in this show is a terrible person, and the "drama" was just too over the top. Elements were entertaining, and I did learn a little about the industry of domestic wildlife abuse, but ultimately the story was about which narcissistic animal abuser was worse than the others. No thanks.

While I'll concede there were some obvious omissions of certain artists and stories as well as a generally glossy, patriotic view of American history (as Burns does in most of his work) I still found it very entertaining and informative. I learned some things about songs and singers I love, rediscovered some old artists that I haven't heard in years and got interested in some others that I never paid attention to. Isn't that what you expect from a music documentary? All in all this series is classic Ken Burns. If you like his style and have ever enjoyed a country song, you'll probably love it. If you're not a fan of Burns or country music, there probably isn't anything here that's going to change your mind.
