Mankind: The Story of All of Us

Not everything is correct and the fact about history is some of it is based on opinions which obviously will have bias. It's very entertaining that covers a lot. It's heavily US biased which is expected when watching that is US produced

I see all the reviews which criticize this series. If you are looking for hard core, detailed documentaries you probably should have abandoned the history channel about 10 years ago. As a vehicle to spark the interest high-school kids and provide images and concepts for discussion, this series has worked very well in my classroom. Biases and inaccuracies serve as the seeds for deeper dialogue about cultural perspectives and historicity. Indeed, the reputations of some of the talking heads have evolved over the years. It's colorful, its loud, and it keeps the kids' attention better than the stuff that came before.

I concede that there are better series out there for serious folks who like a deeper dive.

It was very enjoyable to watch.

I always had a weakness for this kind of documentaries, I liked it very much.

A collection of cuts and pieces from everything and yet nothing. Basically they try to summarize human achievement in 12 episodes. Resulting in a rather biased detailed depiction of the west and ignore most of the east. Plus, everything is crammed in and really the details are left out. Even if this is heavily aimed towards a western audience, so much are just completely omitted. And I just have to ask myself, did a high school student do this the night before it's due? Leaves an unsatisfying tastes in the viewer after watching. Overall an ambiguous and not well planned out project. And finally, did they REALLY try to summarize the human civilization in 12 episodes?

I enjoyed this tv show, but I can't believe you have not mentioned the Great Hungarian Empire once right after the Mongolians. They were great explorers, inventors, bloody rulers.

The huge part of the tv shows just as in reality huge part of history we can see through wars, inventions and even myself who thought knows what needs to be known learned new information.

The visuals were great, they invested time, money and paid attention to historically accurate costumes and languages. Worth your time. Especially if you are a history lover. Very detailed documentary with great commentaries from famous and not so famous people.
