This whole series is just fascinating. The pictures are so much more than snapshots, they truly draw you in and you feel what the subjects are experiencing. It's a walk through history. Our whole family is experiencing them and it's sparking an interest in history from everyday life to monumental events. It really brings the present into sharp relief as well; you start to notice that we're making history all the time. And, while I don't mean to portray it in any way as depressing because it runs the full gamut, it truly demonstrates that there was never any such thing as "the good old days". We're always living it, and only distance gives us perspective.

For that reason I enjoyed the older versions more, but the newer ones allow you to insert yourself into them. It's a great series.
