I love this show. It is my favorite on tv. However, it is rife with inaccuracies. Appreciate that they are trying to condense years of history into a short period of time while keeping it interesting. They are taking many liberties. For instance, Rockefeller gets way too much credit for Standard Oil's success. Standard Oil had a large and powerful board that made decisions together. They invented the modern day corporation structure. Rockefeller pulled back from the day to day operations pretty early and focused more on charity while others continued to expand his fortune and empire. So I enjoy the entertainment but appreciate it is just that - entertainment.
