As a 27 year old, I just watched BoB for the first time like 3 years ago. Since then I have watched it more than 10 times and every time I watch it, I discover new detailing. I finished a re-watch yesterday and I didn't feel like starting something new so I was just scrolling for BoB interviews and came across a four year old official podcast of the show. The first episode features Tom Hanks and at one point the hosts ask him to sell the show to a newer generation and Tom replies by saying that if there was a lazy history teacher, he could just play BoB to teach the world war II history and if the students don't learn anything then Tom has failed to make a great show.

Are there any other people around my age that have discovered the show very recently and loved it? And what do the viewers from the original run think about this?

Or suggest me an alternative. I have watched most of the top mini series except for John Adams and Watchmen

While Don is using morality as a shield for his failing business, I feel it is actually deeply personal for him subconsciously. Season 4 is arguably Don’s darkest period, he is drinking himself to death, his marriage to Betty has collapsed, and most importantly, Anna the only person who knew him has recently died of cancer.

Though he never connects the two, the reality of tobacco causing illness is linked to his grief over Anna. Don is drowning in guilt and this letter is a subconscious, desperate cry to finally do something "good" to balance the scales of his deeply fractured conscience.
