Hi Ivan can you tell a bit why you think it is great?

I was in my early teens at the time of the Netscape saga, so looking back at the events transpiring then and relating them to my personal experience of the early web was a powerful stab of nostalgia.
I've heard the Netscape story from a few different places. I liked this documentary because it made the events seem more concrete. Other recounts, like the (excellent) Internet History Podcast, felt a little more detached and encyclopedic rather than personal and immediate.
Watching this documentary, I could imagine myself being there. I've gone through similar things.
So not "great" in the sense of (umm) Waiting for Godot or Black Saint & The Sinner Lady, but "great" in the sense of hell yeah.
