Started strong and at first felt a little bit like a successor of the masterpiece that is Nathan for You. Completely fell apart by episode 5 though. There are some of the least likeable people i've ever seen anywhere in these episodes. Literal nazis and narcissists. As the series went on, the hope someone would punch Mario to the face became stronger and stronger. All in all a pretty offputting experience.

And at the end of the day, sadly Killer Mike was a big letdown as well. He raises some great points about racial injustice. But I went to read up on him, and apparently he's an NRA loving gun-nut these days. Pretty pathetic.

An incredibly important topic, but sadly this doc is ruined by the fact Farrow seems to be the president of his own fanclub and apparently had to make sure he's in every second frame. We get it, you're a big time hot shot. However, this movie would have greatly benefitted from him taking a step back - literally - and let the troubling facts speak for themselves. A good documenary filmmaker is invisible. At least if your name is not Louis Theroux. Somebody should pass that info along to Farrow. Massively wasted opportunity and a rare miss from the otherwise very strong HBO documentary departement.

Saw this at Overlook and really wish I didn't. Terrible acting and a predictable story that's been told seven million times. Just an all-around cringe fest. Don't waste your time.
