Wow. So well made. Brilliant camera work. Four parts of a tragic tale that just illustrates the difficult times we live in and thecgap of understanding between older people and the younger generation. It is tragic, mournful, and simply sad. There is a whole culture of young people facing different pressures than incoukd ever have imagined. They have a language and code all of their own. Brilliant production, superb direction, incredible performances, and constructed in such a way that the 4 episodes each have their own magic. This is a masterpiece of perfection in film making in the series mode. If you haven't guessed - I loved it.

I did not know what to expect with this, but right from the outset the tone was set. Brutal, unforgiving, hard, and believable. This is based on a little known and hardly talked about piece of American history. It's not pretty. But it has you hooked from the beginning. I rarely give a rating this high but the production values, writing, acting, and direction were first class. There are not many people to feel sorry for in this tale, but when you find them, they are worthy of your emotions. You won't look atbMormons the same way again. A sort of ending that has a mixture of predictability, pathos, and unpredictability. Great battle scenes have you ducking, and grateful you are not there.
