Dope

I love the documentary, but is anyone else annoyed by the different genre of dramatic music playing? Lol

Have to disagree knowing facts. But what may have been better understood is defining the subjective term "poverty." Because according to the legal definition, the show was correct. And in Detroit it is well over half.

I think it is harsh downgrading the show to a 2 just for that but it's your opinion so I will respect it. Having some knowledge both hearing it on blast now is not only well documented but also depressive.

I take away the true over all picture that the war on drugs is not a war, it is a political platform to award an agenda. If the United States had the power or backing like the Philippines, then you could call it a war and that this country is doing something about it.

This show is spot on showing drugs in people's lives in the United States. How other countries demonstrate the US as the best customer and why. Drugs rules many countries, fund many countries and facilitate disguised happiness; in the US, they just do it better. Once you cross that line no matter what the involvement is, it is tough if not impossible to cross back.

Enough of the psychology...series is well done, well edited and very complete with information on both sides.

I am in awe of the journalists and filmmakers for journeying into the depths of the drug trade and meeting the perpetrators. A fascinating look

The amount of guts from this crew and team to show dozens of layers of heavy drug issues in America is incredible. From distributors to street dealers and addicts to local and federal law enforcement - this series doesn't flinch an inch.

S1E4 on Chicago's endless crack problem was one of the first times that I can remember seeing mainstream reporting acknowledging how deadly and clausterphobic that the city really is.

This show is pretty interesting if you're interested in the drug world, or crime stories in general. It's just generally well put together and overall I really enjoy it. There are a few unbelievable stories that feel extremely scripted, but they don't really hurt the general feel or message of the episodes. My only main complaint with the series is that it's becoming increasingly dependent on extremely annoying shots of B-roll while blasting one of four songs, and over the course of the series those weird musical interludes become longer and more common. Feels like a dumb complaint to have about an otherwise entertaining show, but then again, I've heard "Devil's Playground" or "Gimme That Money" at least twenty times each over the course of three seasons. As long as the sound engineer chills out this show will remain one of my Netflix go-tos.
