Jul 14, 2018I can't understand the negative reviews at all. I found it very informative and fun to watch. It was as in depth as you are going to do in at tv format. If the professional critics wanted more depth might I recommend a number of very good biographical books on the subjects or texts about the Progressive Era.

Oct 30, 2012Interesting to watch, but several fact checks of the material reveals that it is often inaccurate. I can't help but wonder who provided the financial backing, and what the ulterior motive was. Why would history need to be re-written?

The program may not contain any startling revelations about its five principal subjects, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan and Henry Ford. But based on the first episode, it certainly gives them a modern-day relevance, perhaps unintentionally.
-
For outlining the way Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and Henry Ford literally shaped the America in which we still live, this special stands as tall as Rockefeller Center.

The narratives here lack subtlety, historic context or--strangely enough--even drama.
