    The lack of decades on every x axis other than the bottom bothers me. This is not a cool guide.

      Normally that indicates that all the x axis are the same. If that’s not true here, then that’s an issue. But I don’t see any indication that it’s not.

        The axis being so far away, even if they are all the same, makes it difficult for the reader to line up where the peaks are, though some are easy to get from contextual clues (~1945 for War movies for example).

          Yeah. Good point. I’ve seen this with just two stacked graphs and not minded. But it makes the trends in the top graphs here pretty inaccessible.
