I needed something to keep on in the background to get a few things done before I went to bed and a special on Teddy Roosevelt seemed to fit the ticket. It did NOT! It kept me up for 4 hours! And I got absolutely nothing done, but I did learn a lot about him. I attribute a lot of credit to keeping my attention on the program to the actor who played him - a Brit (of course!), Rufus Jones.
Since I am not a scholar of TR, I was unaware of the glaring omissions in the program. Please reference Good with major omissions by lima-2 written on 1 June 22 to get some extra information. Information which should have been included, IMHO.
I started out giving this mini series 9 stars, but after reading lima-2's review, I had to take away one star for their omissions.
Yes, this is long. It needed to be. What this man packed into one lifetime is beyond anyone else's imagination.
Sit back and enjoy it. Be prepared to be sucked in, so start earlier than I did!!
