North and South
This emmy adaptation of john jakes' best trilogy tells the story of the turbulent events and emotions that ignited the civil war. In the tradition of gone with the wind, this glorious epic depicts the lives of two families, the hazards and the mains, who are geographically and ideologically separated by the war. The hatred, prejudice and greed that tear at the fabric of a nation also threaten to destroy the threads that have woven the lives of these two families together.
Product Description
This Emmy Award-winning powerful adaptation of John Jakes' best-seller tells the story of the turbulent events and emotions that ignited the Civil War. In the tradition of Gone With The Wind, this glorious epic focuses on the lives of two families who are geographically and ideologically placed on opposite sides of the war - The North and The South. The saga follows the families through their changing fortunes at home and the harsh realities of the battlefields until the South surrenders and the families are reunited in friendship. In the final installment, the story of the two families continues through Post-Civil War Reconstruction into pioneer Indian territories.

So how does it hold up? Well, we won't discuss history because it skims history like a stone. Ordinary people discuss "riders" and "provisos." When we finally get to the war (or, as the southerners here inexplicably call it, the "wo-ah" with two syllables); and if you want to get any genuine military tactics, forget it--the real strategies concern how characters get each other in the sack. They do some lip service to the actual war ("Lee's got to have a big victory up north") but there's no overall sense of what's going on. The characters might mention a few tidbits of information so you know General Lee was anti-slavery and hated secession but went with his beloved state of VA after being offered the job as head of the Union army).
Historical characters don't fare well. Lee (William Schallert, better known as Milton the Toaster) and Grant (Anthony Zerbe) rarely get a look in. At the time Lloyd Bridges was quoted as saying he had done lots of research on Confederate President Jefferson Davis and had come to see him as a multi-dimensional character, but he plays him as he tended to play all his post-"Airplane" appearances, wild-eyed and too vigorously. Hal Holbrook's Lincoln is absolutely creepy. This is because, while his forehead is done amazingly like the Lincoln of the pictures, his chin is too short for Lincoln. And while Lincoln makes lots of appearances, you never get a real sense that he was thought an idiot and a fool from the sticks at the time, nor that the northern Democrats ran General McClellan against him in 1864 on a platform of withdrawing from the "Republican" war (in other words, the same platform they ran Obama on later and against a President for whom they had the same respect as they had for George W. Bush). They skirt politics altogether--all southerns want secession and slavery (apart from Lee and hero Orry Main) and all Yankees are willing to die to preserve the union. No political parties are mentioned, probably as most of Hollywood is Democrat and the Democrat party of preserving slavery and ending the war.
It's painted in big, primary colors. In the south it's never winter. Cotton grows year round. All the white people live in huge mansions surrounded by weeping willows and magnolias, because no white people are ever poor (except the no-counts who lay around in shacks drinking from huge ceramic jugs (so much for my ancestors, who worked their own fields just to scrape a living--those people don't exist in this parallel world). All northerners are either rich businessmen looking to to hanky-panky with their books, or they are factory workers who live in worse hovels than slave quarters, or they are absolutely noble like George Hazard (James Read).
The story: Orry Hazard (Patrick Swayze) and George Hazard (James Read) meet at West Point but one comes from PA and one from SC. Their families interact and intermarry, though some hate each other (Kirsty Alley is a rude, wild-eyed hater of southerners and slavery but without the religious impulse most abolitionists had--Christian Republicans who were told by papers like the New York Times to get their faith out of the public square .... not much has changed). This is not meant to be a history of the war or even of the times, but only an enormous family drama with a historical backdrop.
So let's forget the history and look at the soap opera aspects, which is all anyone ever cared about. It's steamy, with lots of sex (some of it quite explicit, though you never see any nudity apart from shirtless men and the bare backs of women). The characters' lives, north and south, intertwine with amazing complications. One character (Terri Garber) is stolen right from Scarlet O'Hara, but the two families, the southern Mains and the Yankee Hazards mirroring each other.
"North and South" books one and two originally played a year apart. On DVD, when you can watch them as one big, sprawling family saga of sex, betrayal and more sex, cast changes are more jarring (with Parker Stevenson and Mary Crosby--better choices than the original actors, taking over roles in the time it takes to change disks) and other small changes look silly, such as Jonathan Frakes being able to grow an impressive beard in a matter of days.
I don't know much technical details, but the flicks look just as splashy as they did thirty years ago. Apparently the disks used to be issued on two sides, because they never bothered to change where it says other episodes may be found on the flip side of disks. This is not true. All the disks play on one side only.
Top reviews from other countries
Luckily it was, and i jave to say that this series does not disappoint. It is based on two families who are from (ironically) the North and South of America. The Hazards and the Mains are the families and Patrick Swayze plays the part of Orry Maine from the South. He and George Hazard meet each other at West Point Academy and become life long friends after.
However, the interjection of the American civil war does test their friendship and their Families. Yes tue acting is 'old school' but i almost forgot how good this series was. Not as descriptive as the book but as near as dammit!!! Well worth watching and if you are lime me and fancy a bit of nostalgia of your youth, then well worth the buy!
