Watched it. Thought it fell into the “pretty good” / “decent” category. Nice production values and acting. The biggest flaw was a missed opportunity (or two or more) in providing better historical context for viewers in the narration. Like when the narrator noted, in passing, the presence of the free black community in Baltimore, without explaining to folks–even if in a sentence or phrase–how such a thing existed. Still, perhaps that’s nit-picking. Overall, I enjoyed it.

It reminds me of the Cavalry (and Army) in the Indian Wars. The army and cavalry were at first ignored when the Indian wars were going on (unless something went bad), to being celebrated in John Ford’s films, to later being pretty much compared to Nazis in other films and books, to hopefully now a more ‘balanced’ perspective on their thankless role.
