Great informative, interesting episode explaining US projects
Engaging and informative. Good for people with not much knowledge of US history and politics, but also plenty of interesting material/discussions for those with more knowledge of these topics.

Loads about slavery in the first show that I had no idea about such as the myth of the North/ South divide
