Rating: 
- Excellent!!!
As an American History teacher, I found this series highly interesting, well made and concise but with enough details to keep one engrossed.I am using it to supplement my teaching by showing it in parts to the students and then having discussions on what they saw. I totally recommend it to anyone interested in the myriad and gifted characters that played at part in our Country's road toward Independence.

I was blown away by the edutainment-per-dollar value of this DVD set.I mean, c'mon, it was like $2 per disc!While all of the minor criticisms in other customer reviews are true (mediocre DVD quality; repetitive use of footage, etc.) these seem to me very minor quibbles.What we've got here is the finest general introduction to the Revolution available, with lots of backstory and examination of what led up to the revolution; battlefield maps and reenactments; excellent coverage of the politics ...

I've been a fan of American Revolutionary History for many years and so after joining Netflix, I ordered this documentary to see if I would like it.I only had to watch one or two episodes before I knew I was going to love this series.It has provided me with the clearest and most comprehensive understanding of the Revolution of anything I've studied so far, and I think the history and narrative are very honest and fair in their accuracy--not just another remake by some liberal with an underlying agenda ...

Rating: - Well Done, Engaging, Informative
Who ever said watching TV isn't good for you?
If you watch this series, you'll learn so much about our brave American founding fathers and what Independence Day is really about. You'll know why George Washington was the first president of these United States and have a greater sense of what that means.
I'd say something like this is a must see for all Americans.
