I set it up on the DVR. I watched about half of the first episode yesterday. So far it is interesting enough to keep me watching but my socks are still on my feet.

I do like the way he is capturing the isolationism prevalent in the USA right up until the morning of Dec 7th. I know FDR had been doing all he could to help the Allies prior to Pearl Harbor. I wonder if Pearl Harbor was in some small measure a relief for FDR in that after it he could bring the full weight of the United States to bear on the war in Europe.
