USA TodayRobert Bianco
Koppel's curiosity, tenacity and dry humor make the lesson a pleasure.

Informative and entertaining, Koppel gives the lie to the canard that foreign news can't be interesting.
Read Full Review >NewsdayVerne Gay
Koppel brings his trademark warmth and humor, but doesn't shirk the hard questions, either. A fascinating portrait made up of hundreds, thousands of brush strokes.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
Despite the epic acreage that the program occupies, this viewer found himself engrossed, impressed, delighted and fascinated--if also, at times, frustrated, only because Koppel won't sufficiently trust the visuals and seems to think that if he isn't talking, nothing is being imparted.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesTony Perry
The first installment has the superb production values expected of Koppel and his crew. The visuals, the script and the pacing are first-rate. The material, however, has a plowed-over feel to it, making it more of a star-turn for Koppel than anything fresh.

It is what it is, as they say: moderately engaging observational journalism.
