The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth

There's no discussion, no "other side", just Dem political propaganda show, suspiciously just in time for the elections, along with other similar, new "opinion" shows released over the past week.

Vapid.

There's not much meat on the bones here. It's like watching the evening news only with a 'Whose, Who' cast and guests. Listening to an in depth podcast or reading a good in print article will cover much more ground on major topics. This is like texting which, by nature, doesn't convey context or factual information well. Better than nothing I guess if one can't spare the time but not a replacement for more lengthy sources. Ultimately this brevity leads to shallow thinking and exacerbates the political divisions in our country. For those issues that are important to us personally, we should take some of the time we spend on nonessential indulgences and do a deeper dive into the bigger picture.

We started binge watching in September 2020 starting from season 1 and we're mesmerized. It was so interesting to see the evolution of the 2016 election and compare it to the 2020 election. It was great to watch it that way.

Definitely a left leaning view of American politics but most, but not all, of their facts are easy to check and usually correct without much exaggeration. There does seem to be an abnormally high number of bad reviews and most of them read like they were copy and pasted from elsewhere. Do yourself a favor - before you let a good or a bad review sway your opinion go look at the reviewers reviews history. If they gave this film a bad review then see if they reviewed 2000 Mules or Trump Card. If they said this film was one-sided then did they say the same of the other films or are they obviously brigading films perceived to be left or right?

It is very well produced, but every aspect of this show is tilted for the left and against the right. From the way the interviews are conducted, to the comments of the analysts, to even how the crowds at rallies are shot and scored.
