Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told (2013)
Western empire characteristic
At the beginning of the show, it was clearly told why Hitler goes to war, not because he is a maniac, but he want to change the penalty impose against his country. History had clearly shown us, that the western countries, either out of greed, jealously, fear or paranoia, will join together and attack one single country, for the purpose of destroying the opponent, making sure that the opponent never become too powerful, break apart the opponent country, or greed.
Prior to WW1,7 countries had unite and attack China (opium war), this was lead by the British. Early 21st century, multiple countries had attack one middle eastern country call Iraq for its oil.
Should the karma turn around and history have another Genhis Khan, more likely it will go all the way to UK and leave a barren land for a few centuries.
Chef at Home (2004)
Simple, easy to follow and readily available
I had seen several episode, some from first season, some from second and third, I love to cook and love to learn from other cook. Chef at Home is by far the easiest and the most educational, Michael Smith shows always provide an entrée, a desert and an appetizer or salad, each of the meal are easy to make, materials are easily available, unlike other shows where the cooks will demonstrate exotic materials and spices that does not even exist in your local market.
Michael also explain the fundamental of cooking, the different part of the cooking process, which flavor match with what flavor, how make your own spices, and he also take us to his local supermarket or supplies and explain stuff.
I will say that this is the best cooking show I had seen so far.

Circa seventies when Philippines was in the lawless stage before the martial law. Nardo was given an amulet, suppose to make him superman, no bullet nor knife will kill him, with an exception. The amulet will only works if he is in the mud, or anywhere in the mud.
Without mud, Nardo is just another mortal being. The story is about Nardo, with his new found power, tries to correct injustice and help the poor, eventually he become the public enemy number one. The law finally catch up with him. Moral of the story, no one is above the law.
