What the miniseries format was made for.

Absolutely worth it. Set aside the time, watch it all. Pay attention and it pays off in spades. A full-on stick with it, it really gets there series.

And if you watch it all, a stunning tour de force. I knew essentially everything in here, but this is what dramatic re-enactments are for. They lend emotional weight and credence to the tale that you have known, even 20 years later. I knew the well-known story of John O'Neill spending his career hunting AQ then just weeks after being pretty much drummed out of the FBI was killed in WTC2 shortly after taking a job there as head of security. But getting to know this guy, seeing him frustrated and colluded against, flaws and all, just to be killed for his efforts is something else entirely.

Everyone should watch this, not just because it's so well done, but because the events have changed the fabric of the earth - not just of the politics and law of the US - and so often as we see here due to mistakes, mismanagement, politics, corruption, egos and other stupid, stupid reasons.
