Shadowland

Why not interview the many doctors, scientists, nurses, politicians and teachers etc. Who also share these beliefs that something just wasn't right about what happened during covid or the experimental vaccines and still to this day isn't okay. This documentary I find can be perceived 2 ways, I don't believe in division, however those who consider themselves liberals or lefties might perceive this as funny and just reaffirm their beliefs and on the other side would support the other side of beliefs and reaffirm it. But again, why not show the world that not only ordinary people believe in so called conspiracies but some would say it is truth, and some of those people are doctors, nurses, scientists, teachers, police officers and the list goes on. Perhaps then this bias perception would change.

It never ceases to amaze me how many complete and utter dinlos exist out there. It is actually quite sad, as most the individuals appear to have their heart in the right place - that is they want to help others. But their thinking is just so distorted and extreme, and in some cases result in their prosecution. They see themselves as victims or martyrs. They are victims - not victims of the system as they perceive themselves to be - but victims of the very nonsense they peddle out in the first place, brainwashing others after being brainwashed themselves.

It is both sad and disheartening to watch this series, but it does provide an eye opening account into the backgrounds and motivations of the conspiracy cults and people involved in these.

Thank you to Joe Berlinger and The Atlantic for being another media outlet, in addition to Vice, that treats the spread of this conspiracy cancer on America seriously. Q-Anon is no longer cute or funny. It and all its offshoots are dangerous to our society and this series brings it to the forefront like none I've seen.

Vice News did an excellent job of talking about QAnon for the sham that it is with their "QAnon: The Search for Q," but that series focused more on the leaders and not the participants. The leaders are few, the participants are legion, and that is what is dangerous.

If you are non-Q, and not easily led into a conspiracy mindset, you will enjoy this series. I'm not saying it won't make you mad, because it likely will. Personally, I could not be more fed up with what alleged ADULTS are doing in the US to tear down democracy, and why? Money. As the program points out shortly into the first episode, conspiracy theories are a billion-dollar industry, and the people that are believing them and acting on them are NOT the people making the money -- in fact, they're the ones that are ruined the most; financially, emotionally, and in their lives and relationships with other people. The people telling them to believe are the ones making the most money.

The show lets this play out on your screens with little commentary, and the participants show you who they are, and tell you what they believe. This is an important show, but a mere drop in the bucket against the conspiracy theory industry. I wish there were MANY more shows that exposed truth to people like this one does. It's what is needed now more than ever. This scourge is not going away as much as we may want it to. It's only getting more serious by the day.

If you ever wondered who the individuals who somehow escaped insane asylums are, this six hour series presents them front and center giving each a forum to blabber about how smart they are (they are not), how successful they are (they are not) and exactly WHY they somehow know more than rigorous science does. At times laughable, these complete morons are exhibit A for the downfall of society.

A person profiled in part one is currently serving a four year prison term for rioting January 6, 2021 in her attempt to stop democracy. A person profiled in part two sells diluted bleach to line his pockets. A person profiled in part three thinks adults suck the blood of children because the adult is politically liberal. Need I go on?

Stupidity on steroids. Unbelievable how dumb a segment of society truly is. Shawdowland exposes this stupidity.

I started watching this hoping to understand how so many people believe this conspiracy of absurd ideas. After 3 episodes, I couldn't take anymore. It's 95% conspiracy characters spewing their rhetoric. So far, there was no mention of Trump! Is he not part of this story? Are there any disclaimers after hearing these vaccine, election deniers fantasy's? This documentary has given voice to the misinformed, to people who had a need, and Trump took advantage of their minds & their bank accounts.

Where the documentary does succeed is in its access to the people who are still down that rabbit hole. They spoke freely and it was fascinating but where is the other side? I would love someone to make a documentary about what can we do to change this?
