I didn't dislike the show. In fact, I found it interesting, however, I'm shocked to Google it and not see a ton of backlash against it... especially in today's society. I will say it felt like the production crew was highlighting the most awkward and uncomfortable moments in these people's lives, and if I'm going to be honest, such editing/directing/etc. really portrayed these young people in a negative light. It felt as if we, the audience, are meant to be laughing at them and not with them. The first episode or 2 I strongly got that vibe and found the cast to be rather annoying. Thankfully, I persisted past the first 2 episodes and as you get to know the people featured a little more, my attitudes completely changed. My concern is that many people will give the show a chance, see the first episode for what it is (awkward, off-putting, condescending, and exploitative), cease watching the show, and thus further the un-said attitude of society: separate but equal. Perhaps that is just how I felt while watching this show, but I'd be curious to know what other people actually think about it. Just remember these are real people who are not "acting," and if I were to tell one of them the show made me feel as if I was at a zoo gawking at the animals for entertainment... I bet the cast, or at least their caregivers, might pause and think: "Is it really a good idea to put my child through this?" Damage can't be un-done, so best to try to prevent as much as we can; I'm not convinced the creators of this show had the best intentions in mind. -Brianna Scharrer

Wooooo I cant believe I've never ever, even heard about this till now... the most "unethical experiment," "where psychology HAS NOT AND CANNOT ever go!!" THAT is what I thought. Until learning of MKULTRA and that shitshow and then all of its lovely tangents like this catastrophe... goodness and literally right after WWII... orchestrated by Jewish people ON Jewish people, or so the current narrative says it goes. What a fiasco...
