The "Best Miniseries of All-Time" is a Star-Studded Western With a 98% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Throughout television’s history, the most memorable miniseries have left an indelible mark on pop culture. Alex Haley’s Roots is still taught in schools. HBO’s epic WWII drama Band of Brothers is still hailedas a riveting small-screen account of WWII. Angels in America blazed a trail of compassion and empathy among the AIDS community in the 1980s. With plenty of other powerful examples to cite, they all fall short of the high bar and standard of quality that arrived on CBS in February 1989.
