I enjoyed the series, however I never made it to watch the last episode in one part. Somehow it never got me, the pace was much slower, much less things seemed to happen.
Apparently Steve felt the same, as he never reviewed the 6th episode
What I found really cool, is how they tried to reproduce the language spoken at that time. The accent was still clearly British, but you could notice the first signs of American English. Sounded very believable.
Has anybody read the book "1776" by the same author? If it's as good as the mini series, it might be worth a read.
