The documentary undergoes a notable “turning post” as it gradually introduces Trump as its central figure, diverting attention from its initial focus on the Cold War. Initially, I was impressed by its apparent lack of bias, offering insightful perspectives from both sides. However, my suspicions arose when Trump's presence intensified throughout the episodes. It's worth noting that I'm not a Trump supporter, but I find it fascinating how he can evoke such strong reactions from people. While the documentary extensively covers propaganda during the Cold War, it ironically adopts its own propaganda tactics towards the end, becoming heavily opinionated and one-sided, typical of many Netflix documentaries. Overall, the series is commendable, particularly the first three episodes for history enthusiasts, and episode four if you want to challenge yourself and hear a side of history you may or may not disagree with. However, if you're more interested in Netflix documentaries, episodes five through eight offer a different perspective worth exploring if you like that kind of stuff.
