Rewind the '90s

I was so excited when I found this "documentary" series. Unfortunately, it's just told from the viewpoint of one group of people and obviously a variety of Gen-X kids were not included in the planning. After watching the first 3 episodes, I stopped watching. I was born in the 70s, kid in the 80s, high school and college in the 90s. What I thought would be a wonderful nostalgic piece reminding me of the 90s experience turned out to be pictures and videos that do not show what the 90s fully were (and definitely not the way I lived it). It could have been so much more. :( I seriously wish I could give a better review.

As a kid who was born in the 80's and grew up in Los Angeles in the 90's most of the "documentary" is pretty great. The biggest problem is the non stop trashing of anything conservative or the true love waits movement as if it was a bad thing. It's wild that they basically are trying to tell their audience that waiting til marriage is a bad thing rather than communicating that whatever those people chose to do is their choice. It's definitely not a documentary about what happened in the 90s. It's disappointing that National Geographic would attach their name to something that is really just a politically motivated culture entertainment piece. All that aside, it's fun to watch the of footage of my childhood.

Focused on political statements when was not necessary. Each episode speaks of so called lesser people finally getting a chance to be equal. Does not make sense to include gender and race politics in a documentary as the main thing. There were so much more to the nineties! Yes it should be included but not accentuated. Just another biased "documentary" that is more of a political statement trying to erroneously change history through directors and writers using opinion as fact. Would be more interesting if there were actual facts being shown instead of just one sided opinions. Not sure documentaries exist anymore. Very disappointing.

I did make it through all of the episodes but by about the 3rd one they all felt the same. It seems like at least a 1/3 or more of each episode is dedicated to showing how each marginalized group finally has a voice thanks to something from the 90's. Watching the episodes it almost got to be distracting, like you were just waiting for it to be brought up again. Then when it inevitably was I could only think, here we go again.

The series does have some great footage and it was fun to remember some things I'd forgotten about. But it would have been better to just present events and trends from the 90's without having to tie everything into the message that because of X happening marginalized group Y finally has a voice.

So far overall I think this is a really great documentary / show whatever you want to call it. I'm on ep3 rn and it's very well balanced, very well put together, covers many topics of the 90s, broadened my to new things that I never even knew were a thing back then.. 👏 well done! I don't understand why others are giving it low ratings and tryna politicaly hijack with their own hurt feelings. Sounds like they're just butt hurt and no one liked them as a kid and they weren't able to do funn stuff. Sorry you didnt have the funns we did.. and yeah I grew up in the '80s in the 90s before anyone himms or hawws about it, so settle down 😆
