Alternative documentary series
masonsphone27 July 2022
I stumbled upon this series and got addicted. Why? Because it shows the criminal underworld from an alternative view point... That of those who have made the choices to do it and what drives them to do so. Michael K is perfect for the program and had a genuine want to help others and a true background from those exact places he's visiting, so it able to connect with them much more than most TV presenters. Having not heard of him before this, I'm sad that his death was so early and that there won't be any more as it was a refreshing series and not like anything I'd seen before. People may say that it makes crime look glamerous, but I think it's very well balanced and I'm a Police Officer! Well worth a watch, especially to honour the work of Michael K.

A tremendously biased documentary
speedemon-1199719 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Biased and a romantic portrayal on how highly clever scam artists bypasses countless (not yet illegal) laws in order to become filthy rich and live fake lives as influenser parasites on greedy industries like music and other corrupt venues. Easy to understand how fake artists like Greta von fleet and similiar stool water hipster material have made a name for themselves - bots, naturally. Why the documentary producer wanted to picture the last fake artist in the end a decent citizen and not deserve a guilty charge and a sentence is beyond any comprehension.
