While I found the idea interesting, all this series does is serve as a reminder as to how important journalistic impartiality is. In the majority of the cases the journalists let their biases completely warp their stories. The 3 star rating is an average. Episode 6 is the best of the bunch, with John Stanton giving great coverage on a complicated subject, I would have given that episode a 8. By far the worst was Scaachi Koul's coverage in Episode 4 "Men's Rights". She takes a nuanced subject and completely spews her bias all over it. It's frankly journalistic malpractice. I would suggest watching it not because it's a great show, but because it shows how much bias leaks into supposedly unbiased, neutral sources. It definitely makes me want to avoid reading Buzzfeed stories!

This show truely shows how hateful people can be that claim to be the ones "fighting hate." Hypocritical, Maniacal loathing "victims."

Normally enjoy these shows, where they talk about important topics and you can form a opinion based on what is shown, every episode is biased! The journalists from BuzzFeed have already made there mind up before doing 'research on the issue' and it's just then putting their points across without taking on others views!

It's really cool to see a journalistic short-docu series on netflix taking on relevant subjects in 2018. I appreciate seeing subjects I don't know much about and getting more background on the issues.

The format of the show is a bit like taking the viewer 'behind' the story by starting in the office, walking to their interviews, talking to their editor, showing them typing the story we're watching? but it still has tons of production value. Maybe that format is a gimmick - or a bit trendy, but hey, I was entertained. I liked seeing the person who was telling me the story be a part of the story as well.

The production value is great, the graphics are ok - very clear and sold aesthetic, but not my cup of tea for some of the wordy text overlays that cannot possibly be read from my tv watching seat.

Its a frustrating experience watching this show as topics are shown either through rose coloured glasses or they cast judgement on topics they don't agree with.

So you walk away not really knowing anything about the topic except for BuzzFeed's opinion.

Some of the presenters just can't help themselves casting judgement on the people they interview and don't really dig deep enough to show the other side of the story.

It's a deeply unsatisfying viewing experience and a missed opportunity to shed light on interesting topics.
