Lincoln: Divided We Stand

Saw episode one and was very impressed. There was a lot I learned which was never taught in school. I can't even imagine the early life they had. Just awful. And yes pay no attention to the CNN haters.

Why did they allow the music to drown out the narrative? I had to use closed captioning the whole time. I would have given this a 9 or 10 rating except for this major production blunder.

I really like this shows goal of trying to encompass both Lincoln, the man and his personal history and his strengths and faults---and how he starts as a child in poverty and moves with halting progress towards the Presidency. I saw the first episode and now I would like to know if I can find somewhere to just stream all the episodes.....or do I have to wait? :(

I learned alot, i also love hearing historians talk about Lincoln. You should definitely watch. Disregard the bozos saying CNN is fake. The reenactment were very cool as well

I was drawn in from the beginning and enjoyed the entire 6 episode series. There were lots of facts and details I didn't know or had forgotten about Lincoln's life, both personal and political, before his Presidency. They also provided significant insight into his wife, Mary that many will appreciate.

Although, I didn't necessarily agree with the various historians and commentators, they provided different perspectives and food for thought. The documentary does a good job of humanizing Lincoln and showing the man. My main criticism would be about the last episode, which glossed over some of the details around his assassination, presumably because viewers have at least heard that before.

Definitely educational, entertaining and worth a watch.
