We tivo'd all three episodes. It was fascinating and disturbing at the same time. My husband's dad used to run around with some of the Hatfield's when he was a kid, so that made it even more interesting to Dh.
Even though there are some times in our country's past that aren't so bright, it is still interesting to me to learn about them. I think it is always good to take a look at history so we don't repeat the bad and promote the good. There were definitely good things one could take from the story if you looked for it.
My DDs MILs people are from West VA and Kentucky. She is related to BOTH the Hatfields and the McCoys, so this is a "family movie" and they have watched it all including my 10 yo grandgirl. They say it is pretty accurate. I haven't seen it. Several years agoo my DH and I went to see the graveyard where they are all buried. It was interesting. Enjoyed the wild beauty and remoteness of the place. Will watch it when it is out on DVD. Joey
Last night they ran all six hours back to back so I got to watch it. It was good just hard to set that long, but I did some knitting so I felt busy. I was kind of sad when it was over! Roxanna
