I've been trying to get through Century of the Shelf for about a month now. I know that there is substance in the documentary, but it's taking me a while to think my way though it's more dry presentation, since the first Adam Curtis documentary I watched was Hypernomalization, which as you may know, goes full throttle right out of the gate.

Happiness Machines is the only part I watched, as you said it's quite dry. Where I found Hypernormalization clearly biased and selective, Happiness Machines was straight to the point and absolutely destroyed modern feminism with simple facts relating to its revival in the early 20th century.

I saw Hypernormalizaion as following a specific narrative thread through history, that way the concepts could more easily be understood. Could you point to a particular bias in the documentary that troubled you?

The Egyptian revolution didn't fail because "there was no plan", they failed because they were betrayed by their politicians (surprise surprise), and the presentation of the Libyan invasion was awfully biased towards the west. That's all I remember from memory. The documentary speaks only in definites which leads to me to believe it's a gas-lighting operation to manage our perception on history and brainwash zoomers. Think of all the zoomers watching this who will get their opinion of what happened in the Middle East from this documentary.

Here's a critique I just found on google, they'll probably say it way better than I can:
