It IS a time commitment. I think I watched it over the course of two weeks, two years ago (for the first time) and now again for the past two weeks. There's a lot of repetition because each movie reviews clips of what was said in the previous movies. Still, I think the overall effect is worthwhile.

You start to think wow, what would my life look like as a documentary. I think the series is less about class differences and opportunities, than it is about individual choices and personalities.
