Just finished the first four episodes of this and I couldn't help but notice that of the nine players they've profiled, exactly zero have been Canadian:
Episode 1: William Nylander (Swede) and David Pasternak (Czech)
Episode 2: Jack Eichel (American) and Filip Forsberg (Swede)
Episode 3: Matt Tkachuk (American) and Jeremy Swayman (American)
Episode 4: Quinn Hughes (American), Jacob Trouba (American), and Gabriel Landeskog (Swede)
Interesting choices considering their primary audience is likely Canada.
(And I know it won't last as I know McDavid will be featured in one of the last two episodes).

Finished with Hyman & McDavid (and Draisaitl) and Nylander is a dual citizen as he was born in Calgary.
And they did have Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton featured.
I didn't like Pete Blackburn very much. Don't like the edge he brings, and objected to his "middle of nowhere" comment about Edmonton. Also Subban's hockey takes are very old school hockey player for a guy who always seemed kind of cutting edge when he was playing.
Pretty interesting series though. The people side of things was really interesting to see.
