This easy to watch series of music videos focuses on individual empowerment, and citizenship. It is clearly corporate art, but still enjoyable when you overlook that. The animation and music is all good and pretty for it's genre, though that depends on personal taste. The "Immigration" song bops, but gets repetitive. I must note that the majestic and energetic "Bill of Rights" song, and the roaring "Three Branches of Government" song are both real bangers (although, there are many things to be said about the depiction of Supreme Court justices as ethereal beings). The visual storytelling of "The First Amendment" is understandable to anyone who's had their right to speak freely threatened.

This show has been described as a modern-day Schoolhouse Rock and they're absolutely right.

'We the People' features unique animation in every single episode. From psychedelic visuals, to photo-animation similar to Monty Python, to a lo-fi aesthetic. Every episode brings something new to the table.

And it's the same with the music. Each episode has a different music artist sing about different parts of the constitution, bill of rights, and so on. My favorite episode is the one on the Bill of Rights. Adam Lambert is one of my favorite artists and Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez managed to create an upbeat, catchy, rocking description of the first 10 amendments.

This is definitely educational and I think teachers should show it in classrooms, the kids will love it.

The design and animation is gorgeous and creative. The music and poetry is exciting and moving. Each episode focuses on different aspects of the US government with modern context. Great for kids.

The people who don't like it are typically dogmatic right wingers who will hate on anything the Obamas have anything to do with. The content isn't partisan, but with anything about politics, extremists will be triggered. You know every fox cultist will turn it off as soon as they mention Hamilton was an immigrant.

The overall message is that part of responsible citizenship is being involved and understanding the system of law. They cover the basics and why it's important in an approachable, entertaining way.

This is an awful interpretation of the Bill of Rights and Constitution. I put this on for my 4 year old and turned it off after the first episode until I could review every episode with my wife. I know Netflix gives almost everything a green light but even knowing that, my wife and I were stunned that people were paid for creating this.

For people who want their kids to understand how our government is supposed to work, this is a wonderful series. My children loved the artwork and music, and the songs were beautiful and uplifting. Clearly influenced by School House Rock, this is a delightful modern series the whole family can appreciate.
