Title: Still the finest mini-series I've ever seen
Review: It's a small-scale epic, and a family saga (which the small scale helps bring front and center,) and the most successful black-humor I have ever seen this side of Stanley Kubrick's wide screen. Mordantly funny and painful at the same time. The Lion in Winter can't hold a candle to it, even though that's a wonderful movie. Brilliant acting and the most terrible grandmother in the history of film, bar none. The remastering is great and everything looks much better than could ever have come across on the airwaves when it was first made. Sex and cruelty and history meet real intelligence: everybody wins.
