I started watching the new History Channel orig. mini-series over the weekend, and it is AMAZING! Obviously, if you've seen the ground-breaking series from the 1970's, you can't help but make comparisons, but this stands on it's own- comparable to any theatrical feature I'd say. The lead actor as Kunta Kinte is spot-on, as is Forrest Whitaker, I believe playing the same character Lou Gossett played in the original show. I'm on episode 2 I think out of 4 altogether, and each episode is it's own feature film. Can't wait to see more! Definitely check this out if you haven't already...
