I didn't catch it. Whatever verion of America do you get? It's it told through the European viewpoint/colonization? Funny coincidence, but I'm currently reading a very good book about American History -- "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong" by James Loewen. Very interesting book.

The Odum Level
I watched it (still have to finish it actually). It's pretty entertaining and it's nice to see the History Channel getting back to shows that are actually about history, but I miss Ed Herrmann's narration.
As for the version you get, I think it's pretty honest. Of course it's told from an American perspective and is a little biased in that regard, but it's not inaccurate. I don't think it's on the level of The Presidents series, but it's entertaining.
