	Media	Author	Review
		Jennifer Schuessler The New York Times	"[It] offers an uncannily well-timed reflection of our current societal fractures (...) The tone is carefully evenhanded"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Astounding and sobering (...) worth every single minute of your time. I’ll go so far as to call it required viewing."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Likely to win both hearts and minds."
		Sonia Saraiya Variety	"The length of 'The Vietnam War' detracts from its appeal (...) The sheer volume of historical record that 'The Vietnam War' puts together is astounding"
		David Kamp Vanity Fair	"Burns and Novick have pulled off a monumental achievement (...) It deserves to be, and likely will be, the rare kind of television that becomes an event."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"Powerful, flawed and necessary"
		Clayton Purdom AV Club	"It's illuminating and compulsively watchable stuff."
