Listen... it's called "History 101." It's short; to-the-point; and things are "Crayola-ed out" for the viewer. Yes, it's written and portrayed very much in favor of America. But... have you met us? We're all about ourselves. We are selfish, narcissistic, Americans...
In school, we never made it past the first World War because we always spent so much time on the damn Civil War. This has always frustrated me personally, so this was kind of nice to be able to see a 22-minute version of the Space Race; or a 22-minute version of Middle Eastern conflict and oil.
Are you going to learn some stuff? Yes. Is it going to get you somewhere in life? Probably not. But if you've ever looked up the Statue of Liberty in Wikipedia and fallen down a rabbit hole and ended up reading about the PGA (it's possible!), then maybe this little docuseries is for you.
And, if feminism pisses you off, watch something else. There's probably a procedural cop show out there waiting for you.
