Jamais la même Histoire

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.

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.

If you aint American this is gonna make you laugh. I wached all episodes and cringed a lot in every one of them, but kept watching because it was just funny to see what will these muricans do next

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.

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.
