Extremely engaging and a must as a supplement to anyone with a passion for the roots of our country and the revolutionary period and George Washington's role. The first episode and a half I was thoroughly engaged and the second half though my interest waned a bit I held on with eagerness to see everything play out. I only have minor gripes with the production (which i thought had amazing quality). First was as it goes on you can't help but feel you are being indoctrinated with "wokeness" by the filmmakers and producers. Surely enough I checked the "date" which it was created/aired. 2020. So i knew I was being propagandized. I kept asking why Bill Clinton was being interviewed, what was his connection to Washington? I mean why not throw a Republic politician in the mix? Especially after a lady had the audacity to mention Obama in the same sentence as George Washington over the simple fact they were raised by a single parent. What!? And of course the production turns sour on occasion as the "need" arose to bring up the fact Washington had slaves. Slavery was legal back then and everyone with means had acquired them (Washington via inheritance at age 11). The never mentioned the slaves were purchased from slaves traders of color for some reason. Hmmmm. Slavery still exists in over 37 countries as of today. It seems from what the documentary points out that Washington whipped and executed many white men but no slaves and that they lived quite well and actually stayed serving Martha even when given ghe option to be freed. Again why the wokeness? How about focusing on how far the country has become based on everything Washington did while laying the framework for it? The United States history has EVERYTHING to do with how great it has become. Hundreds of years from now we'll probably all be persecuted by "eating meat" by future "woke" scholars judging people in a time or place they never lived. Enough is enough. Would love to see this redistributed with a "non woke" edit.
