What We Saw

Season 2 us the most fascinating account of the Cold War I've encountered, and it makes more sense than anything I've encountered about it before. It actually makes me curious to find out more, which is what accounts of history should do.

Season 3 is dark and captivating, and it should be part of high school curricula to make sure it can never happen again. The combination of setting, footage, pictures, and narration is perfect to drive the points across. This is like if a calmer Dan Carlin was given a series. My history-major husband and I use this as our go-to, and it's one of the few documentary series that doesn't always put me to sleep.
