It is certainly well-assembled. However, to me, seems to lack the poignant storytelling that made The Civil War, and to a lesser degree, Baseball, so vivid and gripping. It was the masterful joining of a large number of aspects under a single umbrella that made The Civil War the masterpiece that it is. I just don't get that feeling from The War.
In short it is, thus far, good, but not a masterpiece.
