I really wanted to engage with this series. But by the end of the first segment it was getting on my nerves. I have become accustomed to seeing documentary work drawn-out to tedious lengths in this era on Netflix and Hulu. But it was obvious that Hemingway was being treated with, if not kid gloves, the usual high degree of reverence found in the thousands of other bios of him.
I was disappointed with this Burns documentary and could not finish it. I am not an avid Hemingway reader and didn't enter with particular feelings or expectations. Your mileage might vary.
