  • Engaging, Great Acting , Good Story

    really good. I saw this mini -series a long time ago. I liked it then. It was good watching it again. I liked a lot of the actors in in especially Jane Seymour who is so very beautiful, good acting, Perry King and Richard Jordan. They were really good in the roles that they played. I really like movies that are in a different time period. Especially the costumes. Good story. I would recommend it.

  • Loved this miniseries when it was televised, great cast, epic story.

    This show made me instant fans of Richard Jordan and Blair Brown. Great story and great characters playing out human traits and emotions on a grand scale. Totally loved the music also. This was one of my most memorable viewing experiences even to this day.

  • Captains & the Kings

    Richard Jordan, a great actor who died too soon, excels in this performance of a rags to riches Irish immigrant story.

    I remember this from years ago and remembered it when I was searching for other TV series. DVD's were in excellent shape and all played perfectly.

  • Very thought provoking for both liberals and conservatives

    I had seen this movie several years ago and really enjoyed it. It is very interesting how things continue to work in our government even today.

  • A classic story of rags to riches

    Great story. I have read the book as well. Some of the story was left out because of disc space. Over all it tells the story.
