A documentary series about drug smuggling around the world.
Reviews all stages of drug distribution. The economic viability of the Enship to participate in the process, the fears, the dangers, the endless demands.
Attempts by countries to eradicate the phenomenon and the expansion of global use following globalization, among other things, have been unsuccessful.
A very intriguing and interesting program.
Made excellent. Highly recommend it.
The documentary author wants to appear more than the information. At some point it starts to get really annoying.
The best 'drugs' documentary I've ever seen. It was a very successful job. The presenter is good, the stories are good, the topics mentioned are good, the analysis is good ... I felt the quality while watching.
Excellent coverage of the business of drugs globally. A lot of the reviewers have complained that it didn't deal with social issues, health issues, and so forth. But that's not what the intent of this limited series is or was. Well done and nicely articulated by Amaryllis Fox. I, personally, enjoyed learning a few things about her along the way. Interesting woman. Reminds me of some of Lisa Ling's work. (Did anyone else notice her appearance change between when she was traveling and interviewing and then when she was sitting in the studio narrating?)
Nothing new or groundbreaking is presented in the series. However, in a world where nearly all education on drugs is politicized in some way in favor of advocating the "war on drugs", the presentation of the material seeks and, in my opinion, successfully serves to re-baseline public knowledge of the black market of various drugs in a simple, digestible and entertaining way - suitable and obtainable for the massive Netflix audience to consume. This series knows what it is, knows what it is trying to convey, knows the audience, and executes its objectives well.
