Which are the best miniseries ever?

Posted on 07/27/2014 7:40:44 PM PDT by MNDude

I don't watch TV much these days, so I can't say what have been popular miniseries in the past decade or so, but I remember there used to be big budget miniseries on TV all the time (A.D., The Winds of War, Roots. Etc). In your opinion, what were the greatest miniseries of all time?

Control? What control?

Control?

Who said anything about "Control"?

Are we on the same page? Evidently not. Case closed.

Obviously.

I’m sure I could think of more, but three off the top of my head that I enjoyed:

JOHN ADAMS—the best mini series ever made IMO—supremely interesting from start to finish
Madada with Peter O’Toole and Peter Strauss
Chiefs with Brad Davis, Keith Carradine, and Charlton Heston

Part of John Adams:

Roots is great, especially if you watch it backwards so it has a happy ending.

We have a winner.
