Kindergarten for spiteful men and women.

It's was quite obvious from day one after the Brexit vote in June 2016 that the EU Parliament and this lot working with that charlatan woukd make life very difficult for the UK in the negotiations.

Discussing drinking wine after two years to celebrate a deal then delaying the exit by three years and celebrate again with his wine.. They had no respect for the population of the UK thinking we were idiots to vote out.

After watching this lot thank goodness Ed voted out.

Why would the want to be part of the EU with all this going on behind the scenes.

Acting like spoiled brats because they could not get their own way.

Ip in arms at the audacity of the UK having a referendum and voting out.

I got so angry with these civil servants in Brussels acting as though it was one big joke at the expense of our country.

My blood is still boiling and it's been two years since I watched this fly on the wall documentary.

The Brussels version of The Office. Wasted potential.

So disappointed there. Little to no editing, no narrative. Way longer than it could have been. Purely linear, feels like you're watching unedited files. Low quality footage to start with, especially the sound (for which I have some sympathy). Feels like an awkward PR stunt promoting Guy Verhofstadt, but it ends up feeling like you're watching an episode of the Brussels version of the Office, Guy being a mix of Dwight and Michael. Clearly doesn't lend much faith to EU level politicians. Everyone is boring, working out of boring offices, drinking a lot on the job. Guy likes racing vintage cars and doesn't mind taking his shirt off for the camera. He also bottles his own wine. Not that anyone cares. There seems to be a tension between Guy and Michel Barnier, they're in the same camp, yet there's no 1-1 with Barnier. That would have been an interesting angle. There's no analysis of anything. No one bothered enhancing the footage, with info-graphics, side notes, or any of the things that can make a documentary better. Brexit the uncivil war, was, I thought, way more interesting. The Utopian drive of Dominic Cummings was very interesting. The role played by AggregateIQ was enlightening. Here you see a bunch of frustrated, anonymous, uninspiring politicians, playing a rigged game against a bunch of crooks (May, Johnson). It's depressing, and there was nothing to make it interesting.
