I haven't watched it, but I really want to. There's a tendency among the comics community to demonize Stan and canonize Jack, and I get that impulse, but it's not really the truth. Stan should have treated Jack as more than just a regular creator, but that is the terms of the deal everyone worked under. Even Stan. And Jack really was a miserable so-and-so and generally hard to work with. He deserved more than he got, but he also made things worse for himself with his own conduct, making a reconciliation impossible.

The episode on Stan and Jack is pretty fair, and brings in knowledgeable sources, instead of the usual historians who are getting secondhand and thirdhand info.

Any wrongful accusations towards Stan have been more than compensated for with his worldwide fame as "the" creator of the Marvel universe.
