History 101

Pros : Good Info graphics, Narrator's voice

Cons: Perspective, and sermonizing info along with inducing agenda. In the Nuclear episode - it calls other nations pursuing nuclear power as rogue nations when you can clearly see these so called 5 nations have already done 100's of tests themselves endangering the mankind in the name of power and protection.

Hypocrisy at its best.

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.

Everyone complaining it's American made is funny considering it's actually made in Britain, but has American narration. Also, of course all the negative reviews are complaining it's liberal, but I didn't find it to be biased. It's not the best, but I think it's aimed at younger viewers as most adults will watch similar shows on channels like History or Discovery.

As you can see, most of the reviews are one star spams just because the series mentions climate change. You will find all the reviewers mostly have only one review just to spam this show.

Watch it! It's easy and informative. If you want history with a biased political spin that you mindlessly agree with, watch Fox News.
