Michel V @RT44160539 Aug 29, 2026 Made me think of a sports game where they lose to a better team but then start blaming the referee. Here the series tells the stories of two 'inventors' who had a great idea that other people also had, and they build some cool demo but lacked a lot of the other essentials to turn it into a real product, and then start crying that those who did succeed stole their idea, which was the whole theme of this series, sigh.

We all enjoy rooting for the small guy in a cynical world of huge monopolies trampling everyone else, but we are shown interactions with people that never happened, and the whole thing was framed as a great injustice. Truth is, it was Art+Com at fault, as the non-profit SRI TerraVision existed years before Art+Com Terravision would be launched. Which funnily enough some Art+Com employees did witness live (and perhaps used as inspiration for both functions and name). It's possible that had Art+Com been the real first creator, we would not have been able to enjoy a great selection of 3D maps. Copyrighting entire concepts and broad technologies is only a detriment to humanity. Given the huge discrepancies for a series that was meant to be representation of reality, I don't believe it can be considered for a high rating, even if it has been very enjoyable had it been fictional only.

'The Billion Dollar Code' takes you back to the sad but incredible story of the two visionaries Juri and Carsten and over time makes you deeply feel for them See more Daniel O @Olshansk Feb 12, 2022 Not quite Halt and Catch Fire, but a great show nonetheless, telling the story of something we all use and don't know the background of. The final outcome is quite upsetting, but the show was still filmed in a way that leaves you optimistic as a whole.

Great actors, Amazing scenes, especially the scenes created back in the 90s in Berlin! I can only agree with everything, as I know being a German that back then Computer didn't really exist in German Households! My parents even denied to buy it as they didn't think much of it and thought it would have negative effects on children! I literally had goosebumps sometimes, as I got so involved in the story and got emotional at the end. It's such a Shame that they invented something no one could even imagine at that time! It was the biggest invention of that era, which is still being used and appreciated! Although, Google Earth couldn't really improve the copied invention much more than TERRAVISION created it! Even though, there's much more technology available nowadays than back in the 90s! It also showed us again that Powerful people like Brian and big Companies like GOOGLE can buy everything! They got away so easily and no one ever knew anything about TerraVision till today! Justice was NOT served again and Joachim Sauter died without justice RIP 💐😔 I really wish they could get justice somehow and also get a compensation! I know it doesn't change anything, but they deserved it! See more Read all reviews
