I wasn't alive when this event took place so I learned quite a bit from this documentary series. I liked the fact that they interviewed the hostages and some of the hostage-takers, as well as other important figures from the countries involved. I think the creators did a pretty good job of presenting what led to the situation and giving the perpetrators a chance to explain why it evolved into what it did, and that the hostages interviewed were able to tell their stories as fully as they wanted. The overall dynamic was a very compelling one, and gave a fuller picture of it for me. I can't speak for the accuracy of all the political and historical aspects, but the differing takeaways at the end from different people was also extremely well done. I felt like it did justice to history and to the folks who lived through it, and gave them the final say.
