This is an outstanding documentary that covers the history of New York from the time the Dutch first set foot on Manhattan Island. So many great stories and rich history. Watching after recently spending a week in the city brought it to life even more. Only wish we had watched it before. My only criticism is that the last episode spends too much time on the "urban sprawl" and Robert Moses of the 1950s and 1960s and then rushes through the 70s and 80s in the last 15 minutes. There could have been so much more to learn about this era. The disco era. Studio 54. The clean up of the city. And it's amazing comeback. It was just a little bit of a let down at the very end. Otherwise an amazing film.
