It wasn't that bad of a movie, but I was really excited to see it, so I left disappointed. Great cast, solid acting, creative and engaging visual experience, but unfortunately it wasn't a scary story or horror film per se (though creepy). There's a growing focus on social injustice (e.g., racist cops and quips about privileged white people), which at the beginning wasn't distracting, but these themes became cliché and overwhelmingly central to the plot. Left feeling I had been duped into watching a drama and feeling even more blasé about social injustices in 2020/2021.

Could be good but...terrible show. Thought it could be good, as Uma Thurman is in it, but the acting is terrible, especially the main girl. Part of the storyline is super predictable (girl from underprivileged neighborhood has a great opportunity and she happens to be really good at everything within just a couple of days and all the guys like her, though she’s not even attractive). Blah, blah, blah...waste of time

Any bias aside (I'm neither strongly pro-Trump nor pro-Biden), I think this "documentary" has decent takeaways if you have no background on the issues and current affairs covered. Unfortunately, and as many other reviewers have commented, it is cleared biased to the left, so viewers are fed a suggested, opinionated version/narrative. What bothered me most, however, is the emotional insincerities and blatant attempts to dramatize the interviews (e.g., zooming in on the interviewers' trendy shoes and bohemian tattoos, long contemplative moments looking pensively toward the Capitol). I was hoping for more grit and serious, neutral journalism (which would have made the series great!), but instead, having already done my own due diligence, I stopped watching the obvious insights and conclusions as the four "journalists" chat while seeming to care as they sip beer or coffee at upscale cafes and hotel lobbies. In conclusion, great for those who get their "news" from social media but a bit of a waste for those who carefully seek knowledge from several reputable sources and come to their own conclusions/opinions.
