What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople love this documentary series for its unforgettable stories, with the films about librarians and Barbara Jordan being particular standouts. The host, Stanley Tucci, is the one thing viewers consistently don't like. The anthology's strength is its variety, covering everything from AI and public libraries to horse racing, though that last topic wasn't a crowd favorite.
