Yeah but this one is like Goodfellas and Casino where there are obvious breaks in time so if you really wanted to you could cut it into miniseries by decade. I get what you are saying about movie vs series I was just saying if the length is the only thing stopping you from watching it than I would because it was very entertaining. If there are other reasons than I get it, I just had no problem watching an hour or so and calling it a night to pick up at a later time.
