America: The Story of Us (2010)
Gaps in the most interesting history of the arrival of the 1st Europeans
1st episode: covers Jamestown and Plymouth.
Very interesting and many facts I had never heard before.
2nd episode: covers events leading up to revolutionary
war.
Also interesting; however, much fascinating history between the first episode and this, the 2nd, is omitted.
Much crucial documentation, between the 1600's and 1770's is not mentioned at all.
For example, a glaring omission: New Amsterdam under Dutch control, and how it became New York under British control.
Another: The mystery of the lost colony of Roanoke.
These omissions are a great disappointment for me.
I wish the very early history was covered in much greater detail.
I Survived... (2008)
too much unexplained obvious missing information...
Very annoying to me is how there are often many, obvious questions that are never answered or explained.
Ex: "Family wakes up with a homicidal stranger in the house."
How did he get in ?
What, they don't have access to a gun in their house ?
Also unspoken, often the situation is a direct result of stupidity on the part of the victims,
which they compound with even more stupid decisions.
Makes one wonder how indeed they survived.
