It's the latest Ken Burns miniseries on PBS... 

 

Haven't seen all of it yet, but what I have seen is not only very well done, it also taught me a bunch of stuff I didn't know.  A small amount of the present-day commentary is kinda iffy, but most of it is fine.

 

If you're the least bit curious about how 2 cousins from a very wealthy family combined to pursue Jefferson's priority on the people rather than than wealthy, but did it by using the interpretation of the Constitution favored by Jefferson's arch-enemy (and contributor to the Constitution) Hamilton, this will make clear who the two President Roosevelts were, what they did, and how they did it... warts and all...
