I have been intending to read Chernow's book and I think this series probably shows the highlights. I wish there had been more time given to his time as president, but I guess battle scenes and animated maps are better for TV. The actor brooding at a desk? Not so much... I appreciated the diversity of expert commentators, especially Ta-Nehisi Coates and Christy Coleman, former director of the American Civil War Museum. I hope to visit when the world re-opens.
