Miniseries: "Prohibition"

[BarbTherese]

I am watching "Prohibition" (2011 Ken Burns), a three part 5half hour miniseries on FoxtelGo.  Read a couple of reviews and criticisms and it might have some inaccuracies, I wouldn't know.  But as an overview from a particular perspective (lead up to Prohibition and aftermath) it is fascinating and I thought particularly good, even if immigrants were not the cause of the alchohol problem in the USA at the time - and not problems with alchohol only in the USA I would suspect. I have never researched Prohibition nor the problem of alchohol in any period nor place.

Even if negative criticism is justified, I would find it interesting (if I was informed on the subject) to watch the series and form my own opinion.  As an uniformed opinion on USA history, I think it is an excellent miniseries, while I would not hold to it as 'gospel'.  I found it interesting and excellent from the point of view of the wider history in which it all occurred and plenty of information on that in the series.

I had a quick look online; however, never watching whole movies online, I didn't have any luck in finding the whole series on a free to watch websites including You Tube.  But that lack of luck is probably due to inexperience more than indicating lack of opportunity to watch free online I suspect.

I thought some of the titles used for episodes not the best, even offensive.
