| Voters of today should watch this series (especially the millennials)

I'm impressed at how much key issues haven't changed in 40 years and this series demonstrates that with each episode.

Especially #5 The State of the Union is not good.

I guess it offers comfort in knowing that despite all the turmoil of the times we as a society continued on.

But of course it's also disappointing to note how much hasn't changed.

Regardless - this is a great series and worthy of anyone's time.
