L'argent, en bref

Netflix blatantly pollutes this otherwise useful series with constant barrage of left wing silliness. At first I was confused by the frequent use of silly cartoons to illustrate financial points. But after watching this show divide everyone into white oppressors versus victims of color, It made sense. The cartoons are necessary because the show is directed at young leftists. How embarrassing. This could've been a useful and practical, even helpful show for young and old alike. Unfortunately, it's unwatchable.

I will say, this series doesn't really "explain" money. More so it's pitfalls and trappings in our current society and the history of how it impacts generations. I hate when ppl use "woke". Facts are facts. The numbers don't lie. They speak for themselves. That's not being "woke" it's being informed of the truth. However to be fair, this doc does glance over personal responsibility in many aspects, choosing to more so focus on the predatory nature of the current banking system...which is just factual regardless of your politics. Even if you don't agree with the approach, doesn't make the information false. Watch and judge for yourself. Many communities don't even get THIS type of financial information. ESPECIALLY regarding credit cards and understanding how interest or student loans work.

I expected to hear about fractional reserve banking, or no reserve banking, as it works now in the US. I've expected to hear how dollar has lost its backing in gold. I am disappointed. Not really much worth watching here.

The information contained in this short documentary series is accurate and everyone should watch. Basic stuff but nonetheless good to know in this credit driven society. Also full of great advice.

The only people who dislike these types of documentaries are those who thrive in a capitalist society and derive their income from the misery of others.

What can I say? If you want to be a victim, this is your series. Very disappointed with Vox. This series should be a wakeup call for most and to take charge of their lives. Instead, it persuades you to think its not your fault. That you are innocent. Watch if you have nothing better to do. Vox, if your reading this, please wake up and present a better series.
