Has anyone watched or started watching this? From what I gather it's tells how 911 got by our intelligence agencies. I'm sure that's a simplification, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

A look on Hulu gives me the impression that it will be more than a one season effort to tell the whole story.

Thoughts anyone? Should this have gone in Streaming?

I’m watching the second episode now. This is a quality and riveting program. I highly recommend it.

I think somewhere at the beginning there’s a blurb about watching new episodes each Wednesday. Yet all 9 episodes are available and I thought this was just released. Doesn’t Hulu do season dumps like Netflix?

This series is one of the reasons why I decided to add Hulu to my Spotify premium account. I just started watching the series yesterday.

I see that it is for the limited commercials subscription. Are there commercials in Hulu Originals? In general, how many commercials? It's a great deal except for the commercials.

There is a tenth episode tomorrow.

There are commercials, but they’re very short and a limited number of them. Plus, there is a work around to reduce the length of those short commercials that even more so.

What is the work around?

Were the first nine released at the same time?

Yes, every Wednesday.

Yes, every Wednesday.

I should have asked were the released all at once? From what you wrote, I guess not.

I think they rolled out three episodes the first week on February 27th, then one episode each week going forward until now.

I'm through 8 of the 10 episodes. What a great series!

Is this a multiple season series?

There's talk of a second season, but no confirmation as of yet. Today I finished the last two episodes.

We watched the series over two nights on Amazon Prime in Australia this week. We had no commercial breaks and each episode was approximately 50 minutes. We found the series riveting and could not recommend it more highly for anyone seeking well made and well performed television. Although we live on the other side of the world we have been regular visitors to NYC over the last 30 years and the newsreel footage used in episode 10 while not gratuitous is still heartbreaking for what people in NYC and increadible first responders lived experienced.

Just watched the whole season. Amazing series. I would have preferred if they had spent a little less time on some of the personal stuff and more on the main story. There are so much more stories they didn't have the time to cover. They could have easily made 2-3 seasons for the same time period.

Just watched this documentary after the series, it's only 1h30. Works well as a companion and covers much more and the begining that the series lacks.

Hmmm. I guess Hulu doesn’t have the rights in Australia or maybe Hulu isn’t in Australia.
