The treatment was better than I expected. Ken Burns does better when he has actual film to work with.
For my money, I think the piece makes Lyndon Johnson look like more of a victim than a President. I don't think Johnson ever understood the North Vietnamese leadership and that they could not be dealt with like a recalcitrant Congressman with threats and pressure. There was almost no mention of the handcuffing and micromanagement of the armed forces coming from the Johnson White House.
