Ken Burns is the genius behind many of our greatest documentaries on American History. His latest opus, The Vietnam War, is currently airing on PBS in primetime. However, we know that most of you watch Ken Burns documentaries a different way. You want to know if you can stream Ken Burns’ Vietnam series on Netflix. The answer is no. (Guys, the series just debuted on Sunday and is still rolling out episodes, almost nightly, through next Thursday.)
However, you can totally stream Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s harrowing account of the Vietnam war for free right now. You can stream them on PBS.org or using the PBS app on your streaming devices. In fact, if you’ve already watched the first two episodes on broadcast, you can catch the next three on streaming before they even air. We’re not entirely sure if this specific rollout plan will stick — that is, you can catch more on streaming ahead of broadcast — but as of 5 PM today, you can watch the first five episodes in full on PBS.org when only the first two have aired. The entire series is available to stream for PBS Passport members.
Just a head’s up: PBS only offers free streaming for its programs for a slim window of time, so if you miss an episode by a few weeks, your only alternative would be to opt for PBS’s subscription streaming service PBS Passport. PBS Passport costs $60 a year (or $5 a month) and offers you unlimited access to PBS favorites as well as special gifts for being a donor. For more on PBS Passport, click here. Again, if you’re a PBS Passport user, you can watch every episode of The Vietnam War right now.
