Kennedy

The series is a beautiful, informative and highly nuanced chronicle of the life of John F. Kennedy. Having grown up Irish in Boston, I was surprised there were so many things about him that I hadn't previously known. Like many Americans of my vintage, I recall like it was yesterday where I was when the news of his assassination hit me. The series did a marvelous job of diving into the deep friendships he had with people like Ted Sorensen and, of course, his brother Bobby. The emotional impact of his health problems, his war record, his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis and school desegregation in the South, and his trips to Berlin and Ireland were all brought vividly to life. A masterful job.
