Jerry Springer: Peleas, cámara, ¡acción!

As other have stated this documentary is about the show not the man, and more about the produceur of the show then Jerry also.

As someone that was young and not from the usa but had acces to the show while growing up I was interested by this documentary, sadly its not that interesting.

It retrace the story of the show, describe the event, talk to some ex participant, but not a lot. It could have been more interesting if they were more interview with ex participant, if someone asked them directly if it was fake and about their life after the show . All in all, it not bad, you learn a little but not that much, it could have been more.

It's common for modern documentary series to feel padded out, with content stretched to fill at least three episodes, leading to a sense of repetition. Curiously, the two-part documentary on Jerry Springer's talk show suffers from the opposite problem: it feels too short.

This is most evident when the executive producer, the puppet master behind all the controversy, is interviewed. Given the opportunity to delve deeper into the mind of this key figure in the show's drama, and considering his apparent lack of remorse for the practices he promoted, the filmmakers miss a significant opportunity. Why didn't they explore the broader implications of exploiting people for entertainment in today's media landscape?

The documentary starts promisingly, addressing a relevant contemporary topic, but ultimately fails to provide a meaningful conclusion. It perpetuates the very superficiality it seeks to expose. The overall impression is that, like the show itself, the documentary prioritizes entertainment over substance, leaving viewers wanting a deeper exploration of the issues at hand.

Really interesting and wild to discover it's was all actually true. Definitely needed a part three and ended on a weird note. It would have been great to hear from more former guests and understand the long-term impacts the show had on their lives.

Despicable that none of the producers provided any aftercare to the guests or even did simple welfare checks on the guests after the show.

Sad to see how much Jerry sold himself out and sad to see what a lack of accountability Richard takes for it all.

I wonder what the world of television would look like today had the Jerry Springer show never happened.

A fascinating look behind the scenes at The Jerry Springer show, a show that was pretty revolutionary, one that changed the genre forever.

This is a truly interesting watch, only two episodes long, so it's pacy, interesting and shocking, you'll want to watch it all in one go. It'll bring back memories, including the man and the Shetland pony, a reminder of just how far society has fallen (off a cliff.) Just remember the size of the audience the show got at its peak.

Most of us would have known that Jerry was just thr face of the show, this takes a look at the people behind the scenes, including the fascinating presenter Richard Dominick, who set the agenda, a man who clearly knew what he wanted, and achieved his aims.

I was surprised to see that the show ran until 2018, like many I lost interest some while back, initially it was edgy, it was risqué, it was something you'd not want to watch with your parents, after a while it became stale.

It's amazing to think it avoided cancellation, the infamous murder, can you imagine that in today's climate, a death did for The Jeremy Kyle show here in The UK, a show undoubtedly inspired by Jerry Springer.

It's very interesting, worth your time.

8/10.

The producers are mentally ill, and I can't even fathom the audacity of them coming out now and boasting about their product, knowing they contributed to the death of a woman and who knows how many others they exploited. We don't even know the mental and psychological state of those other people who were used. Their actions are a blatant disregard for human life and dignity, and they should be held accountable for the consequences of their selfish and unethical decisions. Everyone who appeared on the program should now face prosecution, as their participation enabled this injustice. It's imperative to bring them to justice and prevent further harm.
