This well made docudrama weaves actual interviews of 90s-era dotcom founders with professionally-acted dramatized scenes. Hats off especially to Bradley Whitford, Lamorne Morris and Steve Zahn. The Lamorne Morris character as narrator and sort of omniscient voice was also an ingenious device that balanced and lightened the mood of the otherwise dark theme of the crash. Including Mark Cuban as an interviewee also dates the material in a good way, letting us know more about the series's place in history.
The plot consists of multiple storylines involving Microsoft, Netscape, TheGlobe, Pixelon, AOL and others. Naturally, to narrow the scope, many companies such as Apple, Webvan and Amazon were left out, but I think their choices of subject made for a fresh re-telling with new information about atmosphere of the times.
Overall I rate this 9/10, with one point off only because the scope just seemed a tad too narrow. Including some footage of, say, Intel or Apple may have given a bit more dimension to an otherwise excellent tale of an exuberant but ultimately doomed era.
