I've been trying to catch up on this with the Tivo, so I'm a little late to the party.
I think it's quite good. It's a glimpse into the life of 4 towns in that time period. Think about how immense this subject really is. There's no way to ever cram all the history and stories into a year of 2 hour specials. For what it is (and not what everyone thinks it is supposed to be) it really is good.
I learned a few things about where my great uncle was stationed at Casino. Now I wish I could have asked him about it before he died in the '90s. But all I was told was he was never right after the war and became a drunk and something about shell shock.
