codywitherspoon First off, the history in this documentary isn't untold, More accurately, it is High school Sophomore-level history at best and actually skips over a lot of details. Secondly, it's really hard to look at the history being talked about in this show because its so incredibly biased. Right after FDR, Mr. stone goes nuts with opinions masqueraded as "facts".

usafa93 Anyone with a degree from a respectable United States university will roll their eyes at the title after viewing. What Oliver Stone presents is far from the "untold" history of the United States. Rather, it is the preached party-line of academia. It is told every day. If you have never been exposed to this alternate point of view, you might consider this series interesting and worthwhile.Essentially, the alternate vantage is that the United States acts with ruthless self-interest, and is ruled by a small cadre of elitists. I suggest the actual truth lies somewhere in the middle. The pacing and presentation of this "history" lesson is a bit like General X's history lesson from Oliver Stone's "JFK." If you got a kick out of that monologue, you'll eat this documentary up.

keninoldtown The Trump of the left rewrites history into an extreme exaggeration of what used to be modest lies to whip up emotions for a brainwashed following. His portrayal of the US as the bad guy in WW2 is beyond absurd. His portrayal of Stalin as a guy who was just looking out for his country's best interest is horrifying and absurd. Luckily I watched this when my Ukrainian wife was not present. This guy was a joke when he supported Chavez and company and he is still a liar. Difference is now that the country is becoming polarized, people like Oliver Stone, Donald Trump, Sean Spicer, etc are getting larger audiences of people looking to reinforce an extreme world view.

Chuck D This is a scary kind of series because it masquerades as facts when, in reality, much of it is hardly factual and material is often misrepresented. Many of the quotes are misrepresented and partial; some citations are inaccurate or cite less-than-reliable sources...I don't even know where to start and where to end. Just be careful. There are holes everywhere, and if you don't know much about history it's easy to believe it.
