and he did.

very informative, covered quite a bit of history which is pretty cool. even though it’s quite lengthy, the episodes are broken up into decent chunks

New York may give me sinus headaches, but this documentary surely doesn't!

Probably the definitive documentary on New York City. Worth the 17 & 1/2 hour watch.
