Very disappointing show on Pickett's charge.
From what I have read and seen of the battlefield, this show was full of misconceptions and errors.
It follows the popular opinion that it was the pivotal moment of Gettysburg, while ignoring that the previous day's fight was the more significant one.--and closer to a confederate victory.
The show makes the point that the fences along the Emmitsburg Rd were too formidable of a barrier. That part might be true, based on what I've read.
That begs the question of why didn't Lee use his art'y to demolish the fences prior to the attack.
They ignore well-known data to make points of "new" information to solve the "mystery".

I guess the ruse worked; they got me to watch.
