Produced by Mill Creek Entertainment in 2017, the series is divided into ten hour-long episodes that cover different decades, with each episode providing insight into the political, social, economic, and technological changes that shaped the world during that period.

The show begins with the 1900s, a decade that was characterized by the rise of imperialism, the start of World War I and the development of new forms of media. The episode explores how the world's superpowers were competing for colonization and resources, resulting in tensions that would eventually ignite the First World War. It also shows how the advent of cinema revolutionized entertainment and culture, paving the way for the golden age of Hollywood.

Moving on to the 1910s, the series examines how the war brought an end to Europe's balance of power and gave rise to new ideologies and social movements. The episode showcases how the Russian Revolution sparked a wave of communism and how the US entered the war, helping the Allies win the conflict. The show touches on important artists whose works created important moments in socio-political commentary.

The 1920s are often referred to as the 'roaring twenties,' a period marked by economic prosperity, technological advancement, and cultural liberation. The show uses footage to paint a vivid picture of the time, taking audiences into the world of flappers and jazz music, prohibition and organized crime, and the stock market boom. The era saw a lot of art movements emerge including the Harlem Renaissance which stole the show from the likes of jazz.

Moving along to the 1930s, the series covers the Great Depression, which brought economic hardship and political unrest around the world. It helped the rise of many new leaders, particularly the likes of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The episode also focuses on the incredible advancements in film industry with technically revolutionized films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by Disney.

The 1940s were dominated by the Second World War, which engulfed the world in a conflict that claimed millions of lives and left indelible scars on the global consciousness. The show takes an in-depth look at how the US played an instrumental role, joining the fight after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, how the war ended with the use of the atomic bomb and how the world entered the new age of nuclear arms race afterwards.

The 1950s saw the rise of the Cold War, the emergence of rock n' roll and the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. The episode recounts the tense standoff between the US and the Soviet Union, how artists like Elvis Presley popularized the rock n' roll genre, and how the struggle for racial equality took hold in America.
