Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Why so much hype?

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I admire the way the episodes are narrated. Definitely a must watch for everyone History aficionado.

The massive control of the US media over its population and the rest of the world is uncovered in this series. You will fall to your back with the many under-reported, and omitted facts throughout the history. The abundance of details most of times with the original voices of the protagonists show a very careful research and gathering of material. The narrator if fair towards both parts showing both its achievements, failures and shortcomings. As a history lover, I devoured this material and I confess learning a lot from it. I strongly recommend it.

This is a scary kind of series because it masquerades as facts when, in reality, much of it is hardly factual and material is often misrepresented. Many of the quotes are misrepresented and partial; some citations are inaccurate or cite less-than-reliable sources...I don't even know where to start and where to end. Just be careful. There are holes everywhere, and if you don't know much about history it's easy to believe it.

Inaccurate,full of itself bulls**t. I have never seen such inaccuracies in a documentary before in my life short of Micheal Moore film. I mean this thing was a joke. It mostly focuses on WW2 in the beginning (I couldn't stomach more than 3 episodes) where they portrayed the US and UK involvement as a afterthought, and Russia saved the world from the slimy Nazis all by themselves. Where America was just bombing the Japanese for sh*ts and giggles while they desperately tried to surrender to us. And we just dropped a nuke on them because apparently for no other reason than we could. Never mind the fact we dropped leaflets on the cities weeks prior telling the citizens to vacate the city because this was coming. They didn't bother bringing that up or many many other things. They portrayed Truman as a war mongering idiot who wasn't supposed to be in office in the first place because a left wing liberal was shafted out of it.(Wallace) Sound familiar? (Clinton) All in all this is Liberal trash, trying to trash a great generation of people that made this country great.
