One dissenting vote: I thought Ken Burns' "The War" was disappointing. It plowed the same old ground umpteen WWII docs have done (and done better) - even the History Channel has done better.
Burns' report on the Battle of Midway was pathetically sparse. His heavy emphasis on internment of Japanese Americans seemed excessively PC. I thought his gimmick of the four towns was forced, just an attempt to be different without making a real difference. He focused more on feelings than on facts, did some predictable 'home front' stuff, and provided little in the way of new information or better understanding.
IMHO, Ken Burns' superb job on the Civil War made his reputation, and he has never quite reached that level since. I felt "The War" fell far short of the PBS hype.
