Jamais la même Histoire

A rather toothless, gentle, editorial doco series. And ahhh...the metric system? Over 90% of the world use it. Why doesnt this series?

Nice bitesize history lessons providing an overview of a variety of topics, without fixating on smaller details. It's an easier way to educate yourself on famous topics, and the use of infographics provide clarity. Some of the clips from the reel are a little irrelevant at time, plus it is fairly US-centric and occasionally questionable on objectivity, but still useful for a little background information.

If you aint American this is gonna make you laugh. I wached all episodes and cringed a lot in every one of them, but kept watching because it was just funny to see what will these muricans do next

What a horrible series. Extremely biased by the American perspective (watch the middle eastern oil episode to see for yourself).

Also the information given isn't always accurate to begin with. If each episode was a high school student's presentation then I'd be grading the episodes between C- to B+ (and that's being generous). Since this is not, however, a high school project but rather a documentary series meant to educate the public then i have to rate it as a 2/10. Nothing is worse then the spread of misinformation.

First of all, 20 minutes is very little time for a documentary.

When I was a student at university, I always watched at least one documentary or documentary series after I came home. I haven't watched in a long time. I missed this.

This documentary is my style. I was even intrigued when I saw his name on Netflix.

The topics are well chosen. Like I said, 20 minutes is too little. I would prefer 1 hour. A documentary between "6" and "7" point in my opinion. It's not very good, but I don't think it's bad either. Even in a subject that does not interest me, it is not boring. These are my thoughts. But that's my opinion based on the first season. That's for sure, I'll be watching this series until it's over. Interesting. There are a few things I don't like. In particular, most of the things are told in America's perspective or American standards. Metric system, temperature system used in Americ, but not in Europe or the other continents. This is a little frustrating.
