Captive

Actually it's a first person account of what happened during their kidnapping and also is a first person account from the kidnapper and also from army and police services.

That just never happens, it shows how blind I was and bias could be a person.

How a solution is applied hands down just because.

It was pretty uncomfortable to watch survivors tell this experiences but life is as rude as it is, also amazing how insensitive could the public be.

Based on the 1st Episode. I don't really know what I expected when deciding to give it a try. I'm not into docu-dramas: I can't stand the interviews and the lots of "Oh so bad", "Oh so sad", "Oh so huge", "Oh so dangerous", etc...

I guess that if you're into this sort of things "a la REAL-TV" where everyone's (predictable) perspective (slowly) recounts the development of the episode's story, you may enjoy it. Especially if the topic tingles you.

But don't expect any high level analysis whatsoever: you'll get the depth the interviews will allow you to get. Furthermore, production value is very low: original footage, few (and as cheap as possible) reconstructions, interviews. Low standards boring television unless you're really interested in one of the stories (in which case you'll get just a sensationalistic introduction).

It is informative albeit the info is too selective as I will describe below. Its low pace make you bored sometimes. Besides, the transition periods are kept longer than needed and this increase the feeling of boredom. Its reenactments are very realistic and needs to be appraised. However, there is a very strong bias implicit in the selection of incidents. I am normally not and don't want to be a politically-driven critic but here, the producers seem to act politically-driven. Please look at all the episodes -- All are "muslim"-driven atrocities. I, like most muslims would do, condemn these acts. Yet, making such a documentary but selecting events with solely one-type of perpetrator casts doubt about the intention of those producers. This at least funs the flames. I protest.

The entire intent of this show is to generate sympathy for these people's stories. But if you ask me, morons that go into war zones and try to spread peace and love deserve exactly what they got. That's what makes the show a struggle to watch all the way through each episode. Fairly slow pacing with a constant "look what I went through" that completely clashes with the obvious idiocy of their choices.

The comments about Islamiphobia lol Ignore them and watch the show
