2 years after first creating this thread I FINALLY got around to watching the series and I really enjoyed it. I don't know which parts are fact and which parts are fiction but it's still an enjoyable story with wonderful performances by the cast. As others have said, no movie or series is going to give you a direct telling of the events. Embellishments for dramatic purposes come with the territory. But I will say each episode was engaging and seemed to fly by, even at a runtime of almost an hour a piece. It rekindled my love of the film, which I rewatched today. It also motivated me to dust off my copy of the novel which I've had for a few years but never picked up. Just started today!
