About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a history-focused, footage-heavy look at 1960s politics and social change; Not for you if you dislike debate-heavy commentary or sprawling digressions, like in Wild Wild Country.

Pros: rare archival footage; engaging early episodes; strong historical context | Cons: uneven final episode; drifts into tangents; limited deeper analysis
