    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.

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

    Dirty Money consists of six independent episodes, each crafted by a different director, that share a central and essential theme: the relentless pursuit of capital gains- so revered in free markets- has the capability to crush the very consumers who fuel its existence, if left unchecked.

    Spotlighting goliath, multinational corporate entities that generate returns for investors with brutal efficiency and no trace of soul, to clinical narcissists who have no heart, episodes two and three in particular highlight that playing by the rules doesn't always equate to following the golden one.

    As if there was ever a question, Netflix continues to offer proof of its unequivocal dominance over the domain of 21st century mass-market media.    … Expand

    Yes, it's politically charged. Yes, it's not inclined towards an immaculate view of the Trump presidency, BUT the show's first episode (Volkswagen scandal) and the Cartel's Bank episode (HSBC) offer great insights into how the world works. Both episodes offer a chilling view on the consequences of rampant neoliberalism, and how contemporary capitalism is oiled with laundering schemes,Yes, it's politically charged.

    2nd episode about white collar pieces of **** Scott Tucker stole billions from millions of poor people for "business." What a piece of **** that deserves to rot in prison.

    Him and his cronie attorney Tim Muir were so concerned with how they were treated when arrested, yet they can't imagine and really don't care to imagine the pain they caused millions of poor people by taking    2nd episode about white collar pieces of **** Scott Tucker stole billions from millions of poor people for "business."

    A very intersting show, not only giving you excellent information on well known financial scandals also goes into mor obscure topics and gives you a little taste that when money is involved, everything gets complicated. I would recommend at least to understand a little better of how our world moves and to be more aware of the problems that can come with riches.

    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.
