The four hours speed by like 1. Even for people who aren't that familiar with what happened to Saddam before and during the war, this clearly scripted miniseries shows everything in a clear and dramatic fashion. It is terrifying and yet totally watchable. It is detailed yet never drags. Shows both the terror he inflicted on his people and his family. You don't have to question the plot since it is all true.
The cast is terrific - the leads deserved Emmys and Golden Globes. The cast who played his sons, son in laws, wife, daughters are all excellent. They show terror without overacting. The sets are authentic looking. The score is suitable and evocative.
One of the best miniseries ever made. Very compelling. A must see.
