How accurate is the series 'Connections'?

by [deleted]

Are there any particularly dubious claims made by the series that you'd like to refute? Is the show as a whole a credible source of historical information?

Can't speak to the show specifically, but generally, documentaries aren't a credible source of information unless they are closely related to a peer reviewed document, book or article, and even then fall under suspicion. Most will use some theory or idea as the main source and thrust of an elisode; it is necessary to evaluate the source in these cases. Documentaries are made for entertainment and light education, not serious academic inquiry.
