The 1970s miniseries was terrible. SL was great filmmaking. Sequences one can watch again and again on their own terms. And a fairly intelligent take on subject matter which is very easy to milk for programmed in responses.
Maybe sequences YOU can watch again and again. Once was 3 times to many for me. To me SL was just plain boring preachy crap, and I think it was entirely milked for programmed in responses.
