Strangely, the beginning of a documentary about a pandemic starts with an upbeat music. Not sure that was the best choice of music there.
Despite arriving at a record time during this pandemic, a potentially good documentary turned into a typical Hollywood cheesy storyline filled up with the world = USA kind of mentality.
When a pandemic, by definition, involves the whole world, why would most (more than 80%) of the 'science' in the show be extracted from U.S.-based scientists? It was extremely annoying how it was implied that the slow response of China meant that the whole country did not do a good job (same case with Italy). However, when it came to the united states, almost nothing was mentioned about how poorly it was handled (only one scene of president Trump saying "nobody could have predicted...").
Lastly, the narration by J.K. Simmons was extremely opinion-driven where he tries so hard to invoke the viewers emotions about how the whole world has come together to end this pandemic, when in reality the world is in utter distress.
