Netflix proves once again that when it comes to documentaries, they always create interesting

Today's review is about the documentary series How to Become a Tyrant consists of 6 episodes that last approximately 26 minutes.

At that time, we have an approximate profile of a given dictator, his weaknesses and advantages, how the authorities felt and what ultimately led to the defeat.

The series is a mini encyclopedia of how to be the ruler of the country, showing the greatest tyrants from Adolf Hitler to Stalin and ending with Kim dzung Un.

The series is easy and light to present and animated inserts describe the events. The series itself shows interestingly how each of the people planned and became a Tyrant for their people, how many people died around and how they changed the face of the world through their choices.

The series is accessible, there is no brutality in it, it is such a microscopic history lesson, which is to give an injection about a given character so that later you can look for more yourself. The series not only focuses on Europe (the first episode of Hitler), but the whole world showing the worst leaders in Uganda, Korea or Libya.

Despite the seriousness of the character, the tone of the series itself is light, the voiceover often says to us breaking the fourth wall, that thanks to this character we will learn to rule our country.

As for only 6 episodes, the series focuses on very famous faces, if the second season is created, I will be happy to watch and learn about the next one, maybe a man from Belarus will also appear there.

The series itself is difficult to judge because if you take into account the sarcastic voice of the voiceover who specifically fosters the tone of being a Tyrant in you, it may be bad for you, but the series itself is very well structured and I rate it 8/10, but it is worth bearing in mind not to take an example from this series because it can end up very bad;)
