I recently watched the first episode of the BBC series House of Saddam, which I found intriguing for all of its poisonous power struggles and political maneuvering within Saddam's dictatorship. Having not studied Hussein's regime in detail, however, I have little idea of how accurate the series' portrayal of events and personalities is. I still have the next three instalments of the series to finish.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the accuracy and fairness of this series?
