On TV, The Vietnam War is a hit

On TV, The Vietnam War is a hit

In putting together his Vietnam War series over a 10-year period, filmmaker Ken Burns said he hopes to start a national conversation on the war. That hasn't happened yet, although we're only three episodes in (the entire series is online). Critics have applauded the series but, anecdotally, the buzz hasn't taken hold. It's not because people aren't watching.
