Trivia
In this series, four other Presidents are seen when they were incumbent (and portrayed by actors). They are: Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson.

Goofs
In most scenes Roosevelt is wearing glasses with bows (arms), which he did at times, especially in Cuba, but in most of the archival photos/footage shows him wearing his usual pincez nez glasses.

Great Documentary, but Leaves you Wanting

As a documentary? It's great. I love a good documentary. But I'm also in the entertainment industry. The bits of this docu series that are actually acted out are the highlights of the series. If the History Channel had given the series enough funding, this could have easily been made into one of the greatest adaptations of a historical figure ever made.

But they didn't. It's half documentary, half acted. It it was fully acted, it would have taken 2 or 3 more seasons to pace it properly. But it would have been worth it. They got the right actors, the cinematography of what was made was great. Is what was made good and worth watching? Yes, I'd give it 9 stars if this didn't bug me so much. I'm dinging it out of principle; this needed to be a real adaptation of Theodore Roosevelt's life, not just a documentary.
