Episodes:

Ep. 1: The Beginning of the End (2023-06-07)

December 20, 2001 marks the end of a government in freefall, but also a day of tragedy as violent repression to protests results in the loss of 39 lives. Fourteen months before this infamous day, President Fernando de la Rúa seeks to overcome Argentina’s economic crisis by appointing an unpopular minister of economy.
Ep. 2: The Money Isn’t Coming (2023-06-07)

New minister Cavallo's plan to rescue the country’s troubling economy with IMF support faces a major setback after 9/11; talk of a devaluation begins to build. The government is pummeled at the ballot box by Peronism and scratch votes, and De la Rúa continues to look at a potential co-government with a controversial figure.
Ep. 3: A No-Good Face is Better than a New One (2023-06-07)

Duhalde maneuvers to form an opposition and meets with the IMF in hopes of having his moment. De la Rúa continues to back Cavallo, resisting calls from his chief of cabinet and former president Alfonsín. A government measure intended to prevent capital flight sets Argentina on a course for economic collapse.
Ep. 4: December 2001 (2023-06-07)

The president's declaration fails to quell the unrest as people from all walks of life take to the streets in protest and unite with demands for the government’s removal. Meanwhile, internal negotiations go on through the night of December 19, and a chorus calling for Cavallo’s resignation begins to grow louder.
Ep. 5: The Beginning and the End (2023-06-07)

The Argentine crisis hits its peak on December 20. Government forces employ violence to repress the protests, after being given the order to clear Plaza de Mayo and indiscriminately detain whomever. Peronism rejects the government’s calls for national unity and the only recourse left for the president is to resign.
Ep. 6: Will We all Triumph Together? (2023-06-07)

Peronism oversees the transition while the president of the Senate assumes the presidency on an interim basis. Behind the scenes, a debate takes place on whether to call early elections. An unprecedented five presidents are sworn in over a period of eleven days. In early 2002, Duhalde makes a bold promise.
