Review by dolphinfish

I give what could have been a ten star documentary series only five because excellent production values and direction is destroyed in the second episode when the agenda is revealed -- Orange Man Bad. A brilliant opening episode suckers you in with new insights on the end of the Second World War, something I didn't think possible after nearly eighty years of research and study. You're set up and ready for more, and then comes episode two, the fifties, the cold war and the demagoguery of Joseph McCarthy. Incredibly, they manage to smear Trump with the execution of the Rosenbergs and the House Unamerican Activities Committee, notwithstanding that he was literally in short trousers at the time. An absolute criminal waste of talent and a contamination of history.
