MINISERIES PREMIERE: Part 1 of 4. The 1977 ABC miniseries classic is remade for a new generation – and remade well. Malachi Kirby stars as Kunta Kinte, the enslaved African whose story occupies the entire first installment, and more, of this new four-night, eight-hour version. To hear my review on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website. And for another full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.
