Other than hearing the name James Webb Telescope in the news I really didn't have a good idea what this was going to be about. And I'm not even that big into space it just for whatever reason doesn't interest me like it does other people. But I do have to say this was an amazing Mission and a very good introductory documentary that that is perfect for someone with little to zero previous knowledge of telescopes in space. I could see where some science nerds (I have immediate family that belong; I didn't get blessed with those genes) might be disappointed it was definitely not technical, but that wasn't the audience it was trying to reach.
And for the person who gave 2/10 stores and complained that it's 5 minutes of actual content did you read the description? I didn't think it had any filler. It was well balanced and I can go look at photos anytime it'll be producing them for the next decade plus... doc starts with some history of telescope program, the insane construction process and the insane 344 "single point failures" meaning that if any 1 of 344 processes failed it would essentially terminate the satellite effectiveness and its mission. And oh by the way they had to do about a quarter of the processes without visual confirmation when the satellite was a million miles away from Earth. Yes I said that right a million miles away from Earth. Anyways it was more than I expected and if anything I've gained a appreciation for the scientists and engineers the stress they were under and what impressive people they are.
