Explained

Some episodes are really well researched and informative. There are some that make you want to understand the topic more and happily research it further. However, others are a very biased monologue with a very specific ideological narrative that doesn't give the 360 view that something that is explaining a topic should give.

In a word where tradionnals medias are more busy doing news about sex, scandals and violence and social medias are spreading biased opinions and hate propaganda, I think this serie comes handy. Regardless of your alignement on the political spectrum, it provides us with short introduction to interesting topics. So whatever you think of the opinions expressed in the documentary, if it's giving you an impulse you learn more about these topics and search for the facts, it's a win. So don't try to see this serie for more than what it is: a short introduction to interesting topics, some about social issues, meant to fit our ever narrowing attention span.

5/24/18. I like Vox's news coverage online, so obviously I had to check this new series out. Vox always tries to provide comprehensive all-sides coverage of the latest issues online. Vox continues its tradition by providing a balanced look at the biggest issues of today, in 18-minute segments, which isn't really long in today's world where anything more than 5 minutes is 4 minutes too long. I look forward to new episodes. You can at least develop a more well-rounded perspective on what's going on in the real world than just what's on your Facebook feed.

I see a lot of people talking about bias and "left-wing" propaganda but they never point out whstever it is that they consider biased or untrue. I've seen almost all of the episodes by now and I can't believe all these people and I watched the same show. It's sad how, for some people, anything that questions their reality or perspective is deemed as propaganda.

Used to like it until the agenda creeped in.

There's an episode on brainwashing which literally tries to brainwash the younger viewer.

It is very important to learn impartiality without this science is dangerous.
