So I finished The Vietnam War and it remained a quality production throughout the 10 episodes I'm pleased to say. I felt it was very even handed in its treatment and the numbers interviewed from all sides. I would thoroughly recommend this.
Completely agree with you, the series is first rate. The quality and balance of the programmes encouraged me to start watching another Ken Burns series, The Civil War on Netflix (UK). Again, an excellent series that gives balance to all points of view.
Considering the series relies on panning across still photographs, you are left with the impression that you've watched a video of the actual events. As one newspaper (Guardian) said, "Burns’s decision to plunder contemporary diaries is without question the most striking aspect of his film."
Without doubt, a quality documentary maker.
