There were so many things which frustrated me about this show as I'm a fan of Franklin, American history, this particular story and time period, and Mr. Douglas - it had the makings of greatness.
Unfortunately, there are just too many things weighing it down. While the subtitles were not an issue (try watching Shogun!), the story and script just dragged and droned along at such a glacial pace that it was painful.
Douglas was not at his finest. I thought the casting might have been great, but it wasn't. Douglas was flat and seemed to be struggling with a bad cold or throughout the series. He was just bland.
The directing was terrible. No pace, no excitement, no fun. It just trodded along, seemingly lost.
Sad. There was potential.

Jake Gyllenhaal was fine, but outside of that this film was horrible! Doug Liman directed this? Seriously?
The storyline was weak. Casting was terrible (i hate films that cast for political correctness vs. Talent). Script was true cornball. They made Conor McGregor into a ridiculous, maniacally grinning robot.
I actually feel bad for Gyllenhaal who obviously trained hard for this disaster, and he has nothing to show for it.
The original was no great masterpiece but at least it was fun to watch and it had a good story to it. This can't hold a candle to that one.
(btw, who keeps giving Post Malone these opening cameos?)
