The shows I've seen so far have been pretty good.

I know everyone wants to blame Peter Windsor for the US F1 saga, but it was very much Ken Anderson's micromanagement and general inability that led the team to ruin. Windsor was very much disconnected from the team (and his comments show it; he wasn't lying, he genuinely thought things were going well because, well, he didn't know what was really happening). If you talk to the people within the team, they'll say Windsor was something of a figure-head but didn't have a large enough involvement to know what was going on, while Anderson and his son were to blame for destroying the project.

He tried to control everything, and yet he designed a car so outdated and wouldn't let anyone touch it. His shortcomings and crap management skills hurt the team a lot more than a questionable comment or two from Windsor ever could have,
I realize a lot of people are angry about US F1, and want someone to take that out on, and since Windsor was the public guy for the team, he'll take the crap, while Anderson gets away with being the guy who really destroyed it internally.
This article does a good job for being one of the few ones to actually call Anderson out: http://www.racintoday.com/archives/17528
