The Roosevelt Documentary

Anyone else watching this? Great job by Ken Burns again.
Best segment so far..... Teddy was shot while on the campaign trail. The bullet went through a 50 page speech tucked in his jacket and lodged in his rib. He carried on and delivered an hour long campaign speech which began with "I don't know that you fully understand that I've been shot." They finally had to drag him off the stage to get medical treatment.

One of Burns' best. It portrays warts and all

I was surprised at how quickly they went to the dark side of Ted and FDR.
Not complaining, but, wow.

It's been a great show. By coincidence I just finished Dan Carlin's American Peril podcast. That was a great pre cursor to this show.

I just finished all 7 episodes. It was very well done, I thought. Ken Burns shines again.

I just finished part one and was sort of left with the feeling that TR was a tremendous a-hole. Also I don't really envision him talking like Paul Giamatti.

The relationship between Eleanor and FDR reminds me of Hillary and Bill.

They definitely had a weird, distant relationship.

All the family relationships seem very awkward.

Just finished part 3. Good but I think it could be done as well in less than 7 two-hour episodes. That is a lot of damn Roosevelts.
