Netflix is at it again. lol I'm a huge fan of historical documentaries, so when I started this series I expected the show to be a focused history lesson on the atom-bomb and the Cold War. You know, like the tittle suggests. Sure, to it's credit, the show does cover those topics in detail. But you have to endure the pro-Ukraine propaganda inserted into every episode. As well as random moments like when they try to draw a direct connection between Joseph McCarthy and Donald Trump. The show goes into explicit detail about how McCarthy was a dangerous power-hungry demagogue, and then casually mentions that an aid who worked under McCarthy worked for Trump. Hmmm.. I see what you're doing there Netflix. You're not as clever as you think. Now to be clear, I'm not a fan of the mean orange man. But why are we taking random shots at Trump in the middle of a series about the Cold War? That seems a tad bit out of place to me. lol Really disappointing. It's hard to take a history lesson seriously if I have to wonder about the integrity of the information being presented to you. If it's being filtered through a political and idiotically lens of bias.

This show taught me a valuable lesson. Ridiculously attractive people can be just as stupid, shallow, petty, immature, and desperate as the rest of us. Sometimes even more so. Who knew! Interesting concept turning what is basically sex-addiction rehab into a TV show competition disguised as some self-help journey. But I feel dumber just for watching. Also, did anyone else feel really sorry for the people on the show who were following the rules and not shacking up with anyone? Yet they were still penalized because other less restrained people kept pissing away the group's prize money? Seems terribly unfair. They're all losing money cuz Francesca won't stop screwing around with people. lol
