Only through the 2nd episode but it’s pretty good. Really love media history so it wasn’t gonna be hard for this to be a hit for me. My only complaint, and maybe it improves throughout the season, is that it can get a little repetitive, the script almost sounds ai generated sometimes, I think this could be fixed with tighter editing though!! Will update as I make it through the season
Well researched. Passionate delivery. I binged the first 6 episodes driving and gardening and learned so much about media history.
It’s getting me to see the world differently.
Each episode is way too boring & Web’s voice is seriously the worst.
