This was on The History Channel several weeks ago and it was getting such great reviews I decided to record it. I just watched it this weekend and it WAS a very good show. Excellent acting by Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton (both have been nominated for several awards) as well as all the others. Great costuming and location as well.
I heard it’s going to be shown again. I highly recommend it. It’s six hours (in three parts) but you’ll really get in to it, especially because it its supposed to be pretty historically accurate and not just "based on actual events."
