It's really cool to see a journalistic short-docu series on netflix taking on relevant subjects in 2018. I appreciate seeing subjects I don't know much about and getting more background on the issues.

The format of the show is a bit like taking the viewer 'behind' the story by starting in the office, walking to their interviews, talking to their editor, showing them typing the story we're watching? but it still has tons of production value. Maybe that format is a gimmick - or a bit trendy, but hey, I was entertained. I liked seeing the person who was telling me the story be a part of the story as well.

The production value is great, the graphics are ok - very clear and sold aesthetic, but not my cup of tea for some of the wordy text overlays that cannot possibly be read from my tv watching seat.

This is a perfect example why Buzzfeed is considered to be the most biased, hateful site on the internet.

I am sorry, but this dokumentary only shows how disgusting life has become.

While I found the idea interesting, all this series does is serve as a reminder as to how important journalistic impartiality is. In the majority of the cases the journalists let their biases completely warp their stories. The 3 star rating is an average. Episode 6 is the best of the bunch, with John Stanton giving great coverage on a complicated subject, I would have given that episode a 8. By far the worst was Scaachi Koul's coverage in Episode 4 "Men's Rights". She takes a nuanced subject and completely spews her bias all over it. It's frankly journalistic malpractice. I would suggest watching it not because it's a great show, but because it shows how much bias leaks into supposedly unbiased, neutral sources. It definitely makes me want to avoid reading Buzzfeed stories!

This show truely shows how hateful people can be that claim to be the ones "fighting hate." Hypocritical, Maniacal loathing "victims."
