Hybrid Docu-Drama, where some of the prime-movers appear in cameo to describe their exploits, intertwined with actors that act out the same events. The process is brought down a bit by simply too much information, kind of a docu-drama for dummies. Still, the subject matter is fascinating, as were those times. No idea where the thing is headed but my best guess is that a big fat torpedo will be launched at the memory of Microsoft mid-series, since a great deal of the setup seems to be super friendly to the legacy of Netscape and the 'nerds are antisocial brainiacs' fanboy movement. Witness the silly placements of oddly pretentious Arianna Huffington thoughts. I guess finding humor is easier that finding an understanding of the things that make one's life work, 20 years after.
