I'm a bit of a history nerd, so anything related to this subject usually catches my eye when it arrives on Netflix. So it was with History 101. This is a 10 part series that uses archival footage and animated infographics to cover the chosen subject of each 25ish minute episode. The subjects covered are fast food, the space race, China, plastics, oil, robots, feminism, nuclear power, AIDS, and genetics.
Given how short the episodes are and how broad the topics are that are covered, this series is a case of style over substance. It looks cool and flashy, but its way too rushed to be of any substance or anything more than the lightest of covering of a subject....
