Dark Side of the '90s

They could've approached this in an unbiased manner and it could have been very well done and still somewhat accurate, but they just couldn't do it. The history is good about how things have happened, but the narration and perspective is inaccurate and biased. Too bad because there was a lot of promise of nostalgia for a teen of the 90's.

I thought this series was pretty good, I'd definitely watch more if there is a third season.

However I felt I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I was born a little sooner... Being born in the 90s, I know *of* a lot of these stories from the media, I am familiar with them all but I was basically a babe at the time. I don't really feel the same sense of nostalgia.

I agree with others, certain stories could definitely have been left out and replaced with... better ones. I felt the same way about the original dark side series itself though. There was also a lacking in the 'dark side' aspect, it was more just a normal docuseries.

I would love it a lot more if they did an early 2000s version of this show, I think that would be pretty great for those of my generation. Of course it's biased and I am sure everyone would prefer a version of their own youth.. The only thing I have seen is a natgeo docuseries on disney about the 2000s and that one is super dull and slow yet short, I think that the dark side would do a much better job of it.

I mean, it's not wrong and pretty much sums up a lot of the 90's influences but more focused on American events for the most part.

That said, it will FOREVER irk me that they always try to say "Beverly Hills 90210 was the first groundbreaking show about real teens" when Degrassi was already doing that before they ever showed up.

Watching Jason Priestly, being Canadian, agreeing with this bs in the documentary is just rich.

Loved the first season, lots of amazing insights about cultural events and trends and all that.

Dropped it from a 9 to 7, is due to Season 2 seems to a very heavy focus on social justice, I think someone came in and was a BLM activist.

Just feel like there is so much more to the 90s as it was in the first season, and the pivot is so sharp. The only episode of season 2 I like is the UFC origins one.

This show is by no means a bad one. The biggest flaw is that it tends to skew facts in order to fit a current year topic.

Unlike Dark Side of The Ring where it is presented impartially: some facts may be omitted/edited in order to tell the complete story overall; this show tells its own version of history from a certain point of "view". History dictates A leads to B leads to C. In this show A leads to C.

An example would be the Jerry Springer show somehow lead to Columbine. Columbine happened in 1999 and the narrator advocated to why schools allowed students to have access to guns? They conveniently failed to mention the Gun Free Schools Act of 1994.

Again, not a bad show, the topics are interesting and a fun stroll through memory lane but filtered facts bring it down.
