Victoria's Secret: ángeles y demonios

First off - in answer to another reviewer, whenever Trump is mentioned, so was Bill Clinton and, off and on, Prince Andrew was tossed in to add royal enticement. So, this is an equal opportunity exposure doc. Trump and Clinton were mentioned as former Presidents. And it shows Trump with his wife, and Clinton with Lewinsky, so, if anyone was being bashed, I'd say it was Clinton, but what do I know. That's also not the point of this documentary. It's VS, their products, advertising and, of course, the models.

It is absolutely too long. It tells the tale of how a (rather competitive) young man bested his mom and dad in the Ohio retail arena and went on to create one of the biggest and most culturally influential brands in the fricking world! And who they stepped on to do it.

Also, how they forgot who they were and what they became, and made missteps and, well ..... you'll just have to watch it.

This would probably have made a good 60 to 90 min documentary but producers must have decided that rambling for 3 hours was a better idea. The last chapter, the one that's supposed to bring it all home, just goes bananas wilt every conspiracy theory out there regardless of where it comes from.

Hugely disappointing.

A very long documentary that is in need of editing. Episode One is especially drawn out. The story is lost in endless clips of underwear models flogging scanty panties. The Victoria angels over shadow the narrative of the rise of Wexner, Epstein and the mall culture that dominated the 80s and 90s. Episode Two has more content. Episode Three ends with fifteen minutes of deep dive theories about the behavior of Wexner and Epstein which should have had more development. The theme of wealth and capital is touched upon but that too is underdeveloped. Did certain prominent politicians and billionaires escape the fact finding? I did not get enough of that even though this was a long series.

I expected much more, the documentary is mostly speculation and things we all want ANSWERS for, yet they're questions themselves.

I expected some of the VS angels to talk about what they saw/experienced, but they must be under a lot of NDA contracts.

Overall, could've been better. Hopefully someone else makes a docuseries with the actual details and uncoverings.

This documentary had so many interesting elements and history to explore regarding its topic. But unfortunately all of that was was overshadowed by the non-stop slew of pouty lips, cleavage, etc etc. SO.., let's see, in a documentary pointing out the sexism and misogyny of these billionaire men, the documentary itself fully embraced the objectification of women- in order to (likely) please men viewers.

It was kind of disgusting, to be quite honest. Could have been a 7/10 if more restraint in documentary style had been applied. Instead, gets a 3/10.
