    A show with good characters...
    A show with good characters...

    Michael Douglas is the lead actor to me that is due to him being a good actor all around and all.

    I will make this short

    Freedom: A History of Us:

    This series shows different viewpoints over the facts of what life was and is during this documentary. All else this was a pretty good documentary.
