Spy Ops

The show is a documentary of USA invations to countries where the authorities interfere with the USA governments interests (The main reason of the invation is always explained and not passed by). As a documentary I feel it succeeds it's goal of passing information .On the other hand the really juicy story parts are usually not as flowered as I would wish. The structure and the narrative of the show feel very familiar maybe sometimes so familiar that I just let it play on the background . It is a good show to learn some history but nothing exceptional nothing new . One last thing I want to point to the pros is that I appreciate the interviews of people of the enemy side.

This series is a type of classical CIA and American propaganda. People talking in the series say "We interrupted people's history because there was no freedom, but when we came freedom came." It's a big lie. How can a American feel sad after supporting Taliban against URSS? US struggled against Taliban after that. They knew that how these Taliban people were. Taliban is against freedoms, music, games, technology. But how did you back on them? And do you want us to believe these lies? I don't like these types of propaganda movies. But I know streaming companies are loving the idea of "fake" freedom. Suggestion: Don't what I did and don't spend your hours please.

Episode 1 relating to the war in Afghanistan was difficult to watch without getting angry about the sheer incompetence of the US military

After less than a few months of expert attack on the evil Taliban in conjunction with the wonderful local resistance the USA military allowed the Taliban to simply run from Kabul and started idiot celebrations.

The correct approach would have been to capture and immediately execute all of those evil Taliban members so the people of Afghanistan could finally have the peace they deserve

What a disgrace after 20 years and being defeated by a bunch of thugs given all our military might.

It takes a lot of hard work to make a docuseries with such interesting subject matter so dull and un-engaging.

For a start, there was just way too much waffling. We don't need to know every single movement of every single player in the show. And we especially don't need it to stray into conspiracy thinking like one or two episodes did. It honestly felt like they had so much material, but they didn't know what to do with it, so they just threw it all together in the hope it would be somehow interesting.

It definitely didn't help that the episodes were a bit disjointed and hard to follow, and the music was immensely grating. But above all, it managed to be a perfect example of the kind of shoddy, half-hearted documentaries that Netflix seems to churn out every month.
