What do reviewers say about this series?
On IMDb it has a rating of 80 percent, which corresponds to a rating of four stars on Amazon.
The history of capitalism in the USA deserves to be told, and in this series, it is told very well, but there is a flaw: one episode is missing.
When you look at the chart above, you can see that there is a gap of more than three decades between episode # 2 and episode # 3.
The time 1946-1980 is not covered. One episode is missing. The missing episode should cover the time 1946-1980.
I am sad to discover that this interval is not covered by the director.
I like this series and I want to offer a good rating, but I cannot go all the way to the top, because there is a flaw.
I have to remove one star because of this flaw. This series deserves a rating of four stars (80 percent).
