Very intersting and factual

This single-season series by NatGeo is just a thumbnail sketch of what can be said about the dynasty that rules the fledgling nation of North Korea. It's a good way to get a basic grasp of what's going on north of the 38th parallel and how it came to be. The transition of power from Kim Il Song to Kim Jong Il to Kim Jong Un is an interesting story. Kim Il Song was carefully chosen by the USSR to rule the post WW2 nation after the Japanese occupation. From there, it's the oft repeated example of socialist dictatorship being backed by Soviets. This series is fact-based and well presented.
