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.

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.

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 thing is the execution bad for your typical info feeding series? No. The show's host and flow are on par with anything you'd expect from the History or Discovery channel. However half the show's episode topics are very clearly selected topics to educate you on the show creator's biases. This includes feminism, plastics, nuclear energy, oil, and China. The China episode almost plays out like a love letter to China. They even go out of their way to jab at the USA's "messy Democracy." The nuclear power episode reaches out to make you fear nuclear fission but praises nuclear fusion. What they leave out is nuclear fusion requires so much energy it is not self sustaining like fission. The plastics episode jams it down our throats once again that plastics are evil. This is clearly history with a political agenda. If you're into these topics I say watch it. If you're tired of hearing someones political bias spun as fact skip it.

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.
