This series made me think so much while I was watching it. It is almost as nuanced as the original Blade Runner and that is high praise.
It leaves hints but not through actions but through scenes and those present.
The juxtaposition of the leading women who are so beautiful, stately and TALL, and white, in the presence of people from a different culture whose genetics have none of those physical attributes is thought provoking. Then there is wealth. Then to see the difference in concern for some and not for others based on those attributes.
I will watch this again. The ending is sooooo good. Who in the end is more righteous than their peers.

Most movies are made about interesting topic or about people that had interesting lives. This movie is so about "yesterday's news", it is nothing but trite.
All the typical events and mishaps, BFD.
There are actually some really interesting stories to tell, but his one, over 3 hrs., really?
I know people that have had more interesting live than the protagonist in this movie and that were holocaust survivors too.
An entire movie with the actors speaking with accents that don't sound like the accent my Hungarian friend has, and you win a Best Actor. OK Academy we get it; we get how you roll.

I have been a Netflix subscriber for years and years and this has to be the best documentary I have ever seen. It is so thoughtful and through, and honest.
I remember sitting in the high school auditorium with all the other male seniors to sign up for the Selective Service in 1972. The representative where really honest with us. It was during the time when the draft was based on the lottery system. They told us if your number was 100 or less, you would be drafted, if it was about 100, no worries. Mine was in 343.
I had to possibility of participating in history, but too dimwitted to understand what it meant.
Now I know, and the knowing makes me feel ashamed for our country.
Best line in the documentary is "We are the United States of Amnesia". Ain't it so, all you can do is weep.
This is a must watch, even for people that do not live in this country.
