I think people who gave this a low score just don't care about why Paris is the way it is or how it was shaped. Their choice, but that's not the documentary's fault :)

It gives 2000 years of Paris history and how and why Paris was shaped like it is over the years.
It explains how the Louvre started, how it changed shapes and purpose several times through history
You'll learn how the champs Elysees were created, how the pyramid got there, and how Boulevard Hausmann was created.
It also explains why there is nothing left of La Bastille, and so forth.
Well worth the watch.
