I get that the makers wanted to make this appeal to as wide a base as possible. What I don't get is how they direct us to sympathize with some of the bad guys and let slide some of the more toxic aspects of American culture. I also think some of the content could have been left out because at times it felt like they were beating a dead horse and I'm not sure the people who need to see this are going to sit through 4 hours of information.
That all being said, it is a very important work and was generally well-told and well-produced. It managed to keep (most of) my interest for the entire length. I wanted to punch my tv a lot, which is probably a good sign the makers got out of me the reaction they were looking for.
Highly recommend for anyone and everyone. This story needs to be heard so it isn't repeated, since (spoiler alert) the Sacklers mostly escaped scot free.
