Saints and Strangers was pretty good but could have gone further back in history. Even 6 months before the arrival would have made a much more complete story.
I was so annoyed with Saints and Strangers that I stopped watching and deleted both halfs. The smug lady near the beginning who dismissed the travails of Jamestowne and called them a “failed” colony just lit my southern fuse.
I am a descendent of those “failed” Jamestowne colonists, along with tens of thousands of other Americans. We don’t dismiss our ancestors.
I agree. Three, maybe four segments instead of just two.
Yes, some background context would have been helpful, especially for those who are no longer learning it in school.
Overall,I was extremely impressed with the series.
