Dirty Money is the sort of tough investigative journalism that, for a big media company, represents more risk than upside. It’s worth rooting for, and watching. Read full review

Each segment, all of which premiere Friday, is an entertaining yet informative mini-doc, chock full of research, interviews and artful interstitials. Read full review

While none of the information in Dirty Money is particularly new, the episodes--directed by different filmmakers--solidly lay out the stories to make them understandable. However, there is something to be said about getting all this information in one sitting instead of in bits and pieces, and in this Dirty Money delivers. Read full review

The result is a showcase for six skilled directors, and if the series gave me plenty of reasons to despair for the future of the country, it also made me very optimistic about the future of documentary television. Read full review

A fascinating and frequently enraging new documentary series on Netflix that tackles capitalism run amok. Read full review

Television producers sometimes get a little too hung up on consistency of tone or style, to the point where idiosyncrasy gets flattened out. That’s definitely not the case here. In addition to all the clearly explained practical information this series provides, it also illustrates some of the wildly different but equally valid ways in which filmmakers can tell a story that entertains from start to finish without trivializing the series’ important mission.

A great show that provides examples of a wide array of financial crimes, each episode contains detailed evidence and testimony the from people involved.

Right off the start in episode one we learn that Volkswagen are the Nazi's that liked to gas people. And in the second episode we learn that race car drivers are evil dick heads. Still watching, but so far so good!

Beware, Trumptards can't seem to realize their president is a complete fraud and are coming here to say bad things about this wonderfully well done series of documentaries....it has its flaws but it is overwhelmingly good.

The documentary show the other side of Gordon Gecko's "Greed is Good". It's good for a couple of people and bad for the rest. The show picks up the moralistic tone of Michael Moore, criticizing society.

If have followed the news, this feel very familiar and a bit stale. Yes, we know that the AIDS medicine guy Shkreli is probably a sociopath that only cares about himself. Many people on the top achieved that position by being ruthless crazy or evil, what's new?

The only new thing are random people attacking it on the internet by calling a documentary biased. Ever seen a true neutral documentary? That will be the most boring powerpoint slideshow ever.… Expand

Some of it was sort of interesting (the maple syrup episode), but as usual politically biased. Talk about Nazis, Russians, and Trump. In my opinion, documentaries should be unbiased.

Leftist idiots who camp out in the echo chambers of San Fran and NYC will LOVE this. It'll be their "happy safe place" alright. Most of the so called "facts don't check out.
