The 2000s

Man, I wish I was born early enough to have been old enough to appreciate the the great decade of the 2000s and be able to remember it better now. So much I missed out on.

Again "CNN" has a winner with it's decade series as "The 2000's" scored a touchdown for it's footage and clips and interviews with the experts about the happenings and pop culture trends of the new millennium. You name it covered was the new golden age of TV as the shows like "Mad Men", "The Sopranos", and many others were bold and blunt art house TV that was a must watch.

Also covered was "911" and the rise of terrorism and the Bush years of his narrow win over Al Gore and his 2004 victory over Kerry as he stayed the course in Iraq. Also the drama and disgraceful wall street meltdown which broke millions was spotlighted. The rise of Obama and his 2008 election victory as John McCain was destroyed by a lady named Sarah.

Plus to top it off it showed how the digital age of computers, laptops, I phones, face book, twitter, Instagram, and face time controlled one's means of communication. Overall it was the new era and new age of different things and ever changing times.

Nostalgic, accurate, reminiscent. Great little program. Pretty slanted and anti-republican/anti-conservative when it covers those issues, whatever. It's CNN factor that by default.

Hey, I'm 41, so the 2000's were some great years for me. I was really enjoying this mini series (even the tough stuff to remember, Bush v. Gore, 9/11, Cheney), and then then you let Evan Thomas speak and say "mommy party", the "softer" and weaker party, and "daddy party" who "goes out and fights the war." (regarding the 2004 election). Shame on you Mr. Hanks. You lost 8 stars for that BS. Looking back on the 70's, 80's and 90's on Netflix, the whole things reeks of male perspective; much like the history we all learn in school and from the media. I'll take a hard pass.

Quite a bit of info I was unaware of, cause I try to stay out of it, like a lot of the political stuff, and the stock market I knew a portion of, and the pop culture stuff was fascinating/brings back memories in some ways. I don't know how a lot of people can toughen through so much in these events or watching them. It disturbs me at the same time though very informative looks into how technology has grown in a scary way, how corrupt or brainwashed some people are. It's truly outrageous the grim things the world goes through over the years. I hope people at least give this a chance unlike 1 guy who only put up with a couple minutes of it; get woke to this Matrix metaphorical world we live in.
