Mike Rowe delivers his usual amusing and easy to absorb performance, spinning tales that feel almost lifted directly from James Burke's classic series "Connections".
Only in this case, there's deliberate inclusion and repeated thank you's to the Oil Industry for the sponsor ship, and even a segment 'explaining why Electric Cars rely on the Oil Industry for electricity made from Natural Gas.
Regardless of biased viewpoints, the show is perhaps more interesting for it's Behind Scenes nature, showing the green screens and cameras recording historical recreations.
If it wasn't for the Commercial Bias, this would be a solid 6/10 instead of the 2/10, and viewers should find 'Connections" after watching this series, to appreciate the originals ground breaking film work and hosts story telling.
