The Story of Film on TCM - Anyone else watching this?

Is anyone watching this as it airs on TCM? I think episode 7 airs tomorrow. I caught the first couple episodes on TCM, but streamed the rest of the series from Netflix. I think this is a really interesting series and I like that it shows film from different regions of the world, not just North America, Europe, and Asia. One thing I did notice is that the series tends to focus heavily on artsy films and doesn't really touch upon mainstream films that much. This, imo, made some episodes feel a little uneven. Example: in the '90s episode, J-Horror (Japanese horror) is discussed, but in the episode about the '80s, American action and slasher movies were not touched upon. (actually, I thought the '80s episode focused a little too heavily on Asian and European cinema)
