About George Washington II: The Forging of a Nation
Beset by economic unrest, threatened from within by Indian nations and from without by overseas powers, the young country reeled in turmoil. But the gallant general who had commanded the Continental army in battle also agreed to guide the fledgling country - and his sure hand steadied the course.
Directed by James Thomas Flexner, George Washington II: The Forging of a Nation leans on a strong ensemble — Barry Bostwick, Patty Duke, Jeffrey Jones — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1986.
