    Ok but narration was sleep inducing & boring
    I found this documentary interesting, BUT as others have said it's touted as " a new generation 21 century " but he spends far too much time relating stuff back 50-60 years ago.

    Also this guy's narration and style would put even a Crystal meth doper to sleep.

    It's a constant droll monotone with no punctuation, no gap, pause , breath nothing.

    I watched 30 minutes or so and turned it off.

    I think he was trying to be too clever or art for arts sake.

    Just film a documentary and get Mark Kermode to narrate ! At leader he has some enthusiasm.

    This was read with a style as weak as dish water . 5/5 for program 1/5 for narration and that for turning up zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!
