Audience

This long-running history series explores compelling stories from America’s past, showing how earlier events, people, and struggles help explain the world today. Episodes cover a wide range of subjects and bring history to life through detailed storytelling and firsthand perspectives.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like thoughtful, in-depth history documentaries such as Frontline or The Roosevelts: An Intimate History; Not for you if you prefer scripted drama or fast-paced entertainment.
