Rewind the '90s

I did make it through all of the episodes but by about the 3rd one they all felt the same. It seems like at least a 1/3 or more of each episode is dedicated to showing how each marginalized group finally has a voice thanks to something from the 90's. Watching the episodes it almost got to be distracting, like you were just waiting for it to be brought up again. Then when it inevitably was I could only think, here we go again.

The series does have some great footage and it was fun to remember some things I'd forgotten about. But it would have been better to just present events and trends from the 90's without having to tie everything into the message that because of X happening marginalized group Y finally has a voice.

So far overall I think this is a really great documentary / show whatever you want to call it. I'm on ep3 rn and it's very well balanced, very well put together, covers many topics of the 90s, broadened my to new things that I never even knew were a thing back then.. 👏 well done! I don't understand why others are giving it low ratings and tryna politicaly hijack with their own hurt feelings. Sounds like they're just butt hurt and no one liked them as a kid and they weren't able to do funn stuff. Sorry you didnt have the funns we did.. and yeah I grew up in the '80s in the 90s before anyone himms or hawws about it, so settle down 😆

I was born in the 80's.. grew up in the 90's.. this show feels very realistic to what I remember.. I didn't think it was biased.. bashing or whatever else people who gave it 1 start reviews said.. people don't like hear real commentary about the bad stuff that happened in our society (cops did beat up a black man in the street and lie about it.. abstinence didn't help prepare our youth when it came to knowledge of sex/STDs).. everything isn't going to be sugar coated to make everyone comfortable/happy.. I watched the whole series and enjoyed it all.. where there some uncomfortable parts? Sure.. but it's a documentary told from the view of the people who were there and lived through it.. just because it isn't one persons reality or how THEY remember things doesn't mean it I isn't another persons reality.. I wish people were a bit more open minded and accepting of other peoples lived experiences.. again I enjoyed it.. seemed very spot on from my POV.. I hope you enjoy it!

As a kid who was born in the 80's and grew up in Los Angeles in the 90's most of the "documentary" is pretty great. The biggest problem is the non stop trashing of anything conservative or the true love waits movement as if it was a bad thing. It's wild that they basically are trying to tell their audience that waiting til marriage is a bad thing rather than communicating that whatever those people chose to do is their choice. It's definitely not a documentary about what happened in the 90s. It's disappointing that National Geographic would attach their name to something that is really just a politically motivated culture entertainment piece. All that aside, it's fun to watch the of footage of my childhood.

Unlike what other people have said I really enjoyed this documentary as someone who was born in 2000 and wasn't able to witness the 90s. I felt that it talked about a lot of very interesting moments in the 90s that had an impact on the 90s and helped get the people ready for 2000s. This miniseries definitely made me wish that I could go back in time and experience the 90s because it looks like an amazing decade to live in despite some of the bad events that happened during the time. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a simple look at what made the 90s one of my favorite decades to learn about.
