The Lima episode was a disgrace
Equating Albert Fujimori with the marxist terrorists who stormed the japanese embassy was disgraceful. The fact that they tried to make leader of the Marxists somewhat sympathetic, by claiming the hostage taking was motivated by love for his imprisoned wife, was a joke. If the Government had given in to their demands, it would only have sparked more hostage taking. It's funny how the episode ends with Fujimori and Mostesinos being arrested, but gives zero information about the state Peru was in before he came to power. The amount of bloodshed and terror unleashed by marxist criminals like the shining path and MRTA cannot be overstated, When Fujimori was elected to run Peru, roughly 40% of the country was controlled by the marxists, specifically the shining path. Had he not taken the steps he had, Peru would've become a backwards communist police state like Cuba at best, or a genocidal stalinist deathtrap at worst. I really like this series, and love how every episode is like a short film. But i think they fumbled the ball with this one.
