About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a guided, episode-by-episode tour of heavy metal’s roots and offshoots, similar in spirit to Hip-Hop Evolution; Not for you if you want exhaustive global coverage or dislike long, talk-heavy music docs.
Pros: informative genre history; lots of interviews; enjoyable long-form watch | Cons: some subgenres undercovered; occasional narrow focus; repetitive narration
