A Real Life Perspective

8/10

"Once again, I applaud both Barry Bostwick and Patty Duke for their excellent portrayals of America's first President and First Lady, a different George and Martha than in the first miniseries. That one focused a lot on their relationship and family life, while this one was on more about Washington's presidency and the challenges he had to face, and watching this you'll realize they were a lot more extensive than your history books told you. His comment when first elected said it all when he had to ask himself, "What do they expect of me?" Way too much, in my opinion. ..."
