a long blabbering chat show, trying to prove conspiracy theories as correct.
23 September 2022
It doesn't really talk about the psychology or mechanism of coining and spread of conspiracy theories, that I expected it to do.

It goes on to pick several conspiracy theories, meet persons who coined or spread that or believe in that, and those people chat endlessly trying to prove that their theories are correct.

So, it is a long blabbering, chat show, that ends up proving that the conspiracy theories are actually correct.

I was tearing my head seeing repeat mention of Capitol Hill incident or covid-19 being pharma-company generated or elections hacked by google/ facebook.

They should have left out individual conspiracy theories altogether and rather have concentrated on analyzing why people feel the need of coining such theories, why they put their time and effort and money to spread them and what psychological need causes other gullible people to subscribe to any such trash theories. It could have been heavily edited to limit it to 2 to 3 hours, all the originators of various conspiracy theories should have been strictly kept out of it, they happily used this series to sell their trash theories.

It is a waste of 8 hours to see the series, you are none the wiser after seeing it full, actually you end up getting convinced that various conspiracy theories were actually correct.

Don't waste your time on it.
