    300 years is a long time span to cover in 8 episodes. Although, it should be good if they feel it could qualify for an Emmy!

      I don't think they will cover all generations in the series. They wanted to qualify a new series on Aretha Franklin, but it isn't finished, so they pushed this up ahead.

    Sounds like it could be a good series.

      I certainly hope so as the offer will be very poor this year.

    I must mark this date down on my calendar so I can watch this series! I couldn't plough through the entire book but I did read and enjoy this first part. I agree, the mini-series will only address this first generation of characters, not the rest of the book. That would be impossible to pack into 8 episodes. If the series is successful, perhaps they will film a new set of episodes about the next generation, and then the next, and then the next. This could drag on for years! (Just like the book seemed to).

      I remember that you promised you would read the rest before the series airs :)

      Some tasks are too massive.

    If it's good, hopefully they will continue with stories from later generations. I'll definitely be adding this to my watch list!
