How to Become a Tyrant

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

I don't do reviews as they seem unnecessary, but here too many people complain about excluding some dictators.

It's a great show about some of the darkest people ever ruled and they hopefully will do another season where more people are added (yes, including Winnie the Pooh).

But giving it 2 or 3 just because China was left out seems weird. The reason to rate and review a show is much more than just 1 part wasn't in it...

Zidong mao isWhere is the evil mao? Forgotten. He was mortified. I feel disappointed.

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.
