I never saw the miniseries until about a year ago. We were staying at a hotel and flipping thru channels and came upon it. We caught it somewhere in the middle. We seriously considered getting another day because we didn't want to stop watching. We went right home and bought the dvd. It's fantastic. I will watch anything with Robert Duvall or Christopher Walken. Even a mediocre movie is worth watching if they are in it.
One of the best lines ever "Just once in my life I'd like to shoot an educated man."
