Dark Side of the 90s, season 1 episode 10: Internet 1.0

release year: 2021
genre: documentary
viewing setting: home streaming 6/2/25

synopsis: This was one episode from a series that's all about the 1990s; this one is about the dot-com bubble and crash late in the decade.

impressions: With a wealth of interviews from people who were there, this explains in great detail the rise and fall of (most) dot-com startups. The two prominent examples here were Netscape and pets.com and insiders from both companies discuss the events. This was good - I lived through it and still learned a lot here.

acting: n/a but all of the interviews are sincere and informational

final word: Solid account of one of the few interesting pieces of the decade of the 1990s.
