As a numbers guy, my biggest complaint is the exaggeration of dollar amounts. In one Segment they say JP Morgan raises 40 million for the Panama Canal or "7 billion in today's dollars". A 175 times markup.
And To build his first plant, Ford raises $28,000 or $700,000 today. A 25 time mark up, which is the accurate rate of inflation.
This is just one example of many where the numbers just don't add up in this documentary.
Other than the slow movement and repetitive nature, this series is ok to watch, especially if you have a fast forward button.
score 7/10
