It is a three part docuseries on Ulysses Grant. It examines his early life and his rise through his ranks to eventually lead the US Army during the US Civil War and his administration.
Most of Grant’s time was spent in the Western Theater of the US Civil War. I grew up in Virginia so I got an over load on the battles in the Eastern Theater also I was fully dipped in the revisionist bullshit (AKA States Rights) that has occurred since.
I found this documentary interesting because it dissected the western theater and it also delved into what Grant’s Administration dealt with during the reconstruction era. Grant’s life and history is a pretty neglected because the reality of his administration doesn’t jive with the revisionist bullshit.
Slow Horses
Season 6 has dropped and this show and Gary Oldman are still firing on all cylinders. Jackson Lamb is still the disgusting, burned out master spy that he is and this show just entertains on so many levels.
Task
I am on episode 5 and this show is excellent. The primary mystery is coming together as are all the various character sub plots. The only drag is the show is 7 episodes long so there are only two episodes left.
