Anybody else going to watch "Hatfields and McCoys" on History Channel?

Sounds interesting, but if the fact that big-name stars like Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton, and Mare Winningham are in it is any indication, I'm afraid they may be trying to make a Hollywood-style extravaganza out of this story rather than an accurate account.

Which means lots of facts get thrown out in the trash in the name of "dramatic license."

The commercial I saw was mean.. sad, in stupid. I have a tough time with it. Hubby enjoys historical. So, I just got the story of what happened and why the fued. I dont have to watch. If I watched that kind of stuff, looks good.
