Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons

It was an interesting story of Rise and Fall of Victoria Secret and how Epstein was doing hell a lot of evil stuff behind the curtains that were visible to all the Elite and yet nobody bothered, it was an interesting theory how Victoria's secret might have been a CIA tool to control leading politicians, big business people and even Royalties by blackmailing them, I mean it's obvious the rulers did not want Epstein to talk or anyone to find that safe with CD's, because if he/they did we might have had a global revolution ...

A very long documentary that is in need of editing. Episode One is especially drawn out. The story is lost in endless clips of underwear models flogging scanty panties. The Victoria angels over shadow the narrative of the rise of Wexner, Epstein and the mall culture that dominated the 80s and 90s. Episode Two has more content. Episode Three ends with fifteen minutes of deep dive theories about the behavior of Wexner and Epstein which should have had more development. The theme of wealth and capital is touched upon but that too is underdeveloped. Did certain prominent politicians and billionaires escape the fact finding? I did not get enough of that even though this was a long series.

This documentary had so many interesting elements and history to explore regarding its topic. But unfortunately all of that was was overshadowed by the non-stop slew of pouty lips, cleavage, etc etc. SO.., let's see, in a documentary pointing out the sexism and misogyny of these billionaire men, the documentary itself fully embraced the objectification of women- in order to (likely) please men viewers.

It was kind of disgusting, to be quite honest. Could have been a 7/10 if more restraint in documentary style had been applied. Instead, gets a 3/10.

This is primarily the retelling of the Epstein story, packaged with some of the bad behaviors of 2 men who led Victoria's Secret to the height of their success, and then ultimately brought the company to the brink of extinction because they were egotistical, misogynistic and refused to evolve with the times. There was nothing new in here that you haven't read or seen if you've followed the countless other segments on Jeffrey Epstein, or read any articles about Victoria's Secret from a few years ago. Could have been better had they just focused on Victoria's Secret, with a reference to the Epstein connection with Les Wexner; or focused on Epstein and referenced the connection with Wexner and Victoria's Secret. Trying to tell both stories missed the mark for me.

Honestly, it was very informative... particularly the bits about the mysterious relationship (financial and otherwise) between Wexler and Epstein.

Maybe because the series tried to cover so many different angles, it felt incomplete by the end.

I was actually really surprised that it was over... there wasn't a traditional wrap up vibe.

I still recommend watching it though... had a lot of interesting details.
