100

USA Today Robert Bianco

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

Variety Brian Lowry

Informative and entertaining, Koppel gives the lie to the canard that foreign news can't be interesting.

Newsday Verne 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.

Washington Post Tom 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.

Los Angeles Times Tony 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.

The New York Times Neil Genzlinger

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