Season 1 Review:
When I say that We the People is, comparatively and qualitatively, a decidedly mixed bag, with one or two standouts, one or two real duds and a bunch of so-so songs in the middle, am I drawing a distinction between my memory of Schoolhouse Rock! or the reality? Probably the former. ... I doubt we’re going to still be singing these songs in a decade, much less in 40 years, but it’s an inspiring hour of Fourth of July viewing and I’d be curious to watch more installments.

Season 1 Review:
The series is directed at young people, so one could argue that a simple, aspirational approach was necessary to garner interest. On the other hand, one needn’t look further than the historic marches in response to the murder of George Floyd — protests organized, overwhelmingly, by very young people — to know that apathy about civics isn’t quite the issue here.
