Enjoyed this a lot but…
Really enjoyed this but the re-enactments were a bit overdone and I was instantly distracted by the fact they are clearly British actors doing quite terrible American accents (and a video of Lamar on YouTube shows he didn’t speak with that weird breathy affectation either). I would have loved more interviews with contemporaries rather than often just quoting Lamar’s book (in said terrible accent). Maybe it’s why I liked the final episode the best. There must be more survivors who knew him - it was the 60s, not the 1800s - or at least descendants or family of those involved? On YouTube with one search I found someone saying Lamar is his/her great uncle, and there must be more family given he had several brothers and sisters. But clearly there was a lot of research involved and overall the pacing and story is well done.

The accents (especially Lamar!) and play is absolutely cringe. Takes away from an otherwise very interesting story.
