Storia contemporanea in pillole

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.

The series addresses some interesting topics, providing statistics in a visually appealing way and providing chronological views. But occasionally strays towards giving opinions, which isn't really what 'history' is about. The episodes are a good length in providing quick overviews.

First of all, 20 minutes is very little time for a documentary.

When I was a student at university, I always watched at least one documentary or documentary series after I came home. I haven't watched in a long time. I missed this.

This documentary is my style. I was even intrigued when I saw his name on Netflix.

The topics are well chosen. Like I said, 20 minutes is too little. I would prefer 1 hour. A documentary between "6" and "7" point in my opinion. It's not very good, but I don't think it's bad either. Even in a subject that does not interest me, it is not boring. These are my thoughts. But that's my opinion based on the first season. That's for sure, I'll be watching this series until it's over. Interesting. There are a few things I don't like. In particular, most of the things are told in America's perspective or American standards. Metric system, temperature system used in Americ, but not in Europe or the other continents. This is a little frustrating.

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.
