    Reasonable journalism wrapped up in politically charged opinions that are preachy at best, and overtly racist at worst. The first episode quite literally violates Godwin's law, openly comparing German companies to the Nazis.

    If you are a tinfoil wearing moonbat, you will love this series, especially the last episode on how Trump is a scam artist. Sane people would probably find    Reasonable journalism wrapped up in politically charged opinions that are preachy at best, and overtly racist at worst.

    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.

    I was enjoying this series until the Trump segment. It portrayed him as a scam artist & his voters as idiots. They claimed Trump never really ran most of his projects, but then blamed him for all failures. They only interviewed former employees who were unhappy. They also interviewed the former White House ethics boss who allegedly quit because he was alarmed after Trump took office.I was enjoying this series until the Trump segment.

However, he was there for all 8 years of Obama's admin while the IRS scandal, Fast & Furious, IRS, Iran payoff & Benghazi occurred. I now wonder what biases were cloaked in previous episodes.… Expand

    This show (yes show, not a documentary as they claim) tries to take the easy route by including current politics in a show about Nazis and serous financial crimes. There is nothing wrong with that as such but a documentary is supposed to give a balanced view of affairs not just interviews of laid off/ex-employees. Lazy cash in attempt that tries to cover all buzzwords to get attention.

    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.

    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 fascinating and frequently enraging new documentary series on Netflix that tackles capitalism run amok.

    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.
