No doubt Bernie Ecclestone was paramount in the F1 product we see now. He was certainly powerful enough so few people dares/dared to speak against him. But all those who had enough power or nothing to lose or gain that actually could speak up against are all dead.

That aside, the 8 episodes are a unique look into the entire history of the F1, greatly told and certainly super produced

Ferrari: Race to Immortality (2017) McLaren (2017) Stewart (2022) Williams (2017)

These four titles should be watched to get a bit more nuance. I recommend in this order...

This series gets more in to the politics of the sport, something most never understood, but only got the jist of.

The FISA, FICA, F1CA, FOCA and the FIA. What and who did the represent? How come could a party be in both groups but argue against on of them. Some of the muddiness gets cleared up a bit here - I look forward to a documentary that goes through that quagmire.

The suspense and acting in season one was at a high level but season two was so mediocre I can't believe it was the same actors. What a petty.

Dougray Scott's acting in season two is so poorly, that he looks like a little kid playing soldier. The storyline might be plausible but the setting is not - not at all.

The Middle Eastern theme might have been interesting 15-20 years ago, but today it's a bit tiresome. I think that's a reason why season one worked, because it was 'local' issue.

The interaction between Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie is still sweet and maybe the only credible thing in the series.

If the series will be back for another season, I surely won't be.

First, the murder documentary is somewhat uninteresting, could have been done in 40min.

But the somewhat interesting part is how a pristine area of Northern California gets invaded by good intentioned hippies in the 60's. By a sidegig they start to grow weed. 20 years later the world the hippies tried to escape now is on their doorstep.

The 80's war on drugs find the residents of Humboldt in a lucrative line of work, which attract an unwanted population. The underlying story, though is how the area is riddled with car wrecks, rubbish and crime.

White male Americans once again show how to ruin everything around them.
