How to Become a Tyrant

I kept waiting for an episode on Mao and China. But crickets.

What are you telling us Netflix?

I watched 2 episodes so far, attractive but unfortunately full of lies and inaccurate information.

When I lesson to what I believe 100% inaccurate story about an event, that would make me fully doubt about each and every other story which I don't have a clue about or I have not hear about previously.

I think the huge deficiency in this series is in the type of the people have been interviewed to talk about the events who are either ignorants or liers or very good at fulictional narration.

Bottom line ;they are non-creditable and unobjective.

Interesting and informative series with great animations. But the voice of Peter Dinklage completes it. Fun watch!

I know I know, it's Netflix, not history channel, it's all about entertainment not context, historical accuracy, or actually educating the masses. Still, this is rather disappointing as I was wishing for something more, let's say, contextualized and brave, instead of this typical "the world is black and white" rehash of Hollywood brainwash formula.

To conclude, it's too generic, shallow, and one-sided. Not recommending to anyone who cares enough to learn history, or learn "how to become a tyrant."

I dont really understand the negative comments screaming why no China, no Pol Pot, etc. This is a limited series and there are many tyrants out there... The series tried to portray at least one dictator for each continent in its six episodes. Putin is not featured either, why no one is complaining?? Maybe they will do another season for other dictators?

This is a documentary made for general audience who may not be experts on certain countries or parts of history. It also chooses to use a lighter tone for a very depressing and dark topic. Forget about the haters, keep an open mind and I think you would enjoy the series much more.
