    The most important thing you will watch this decade

    Keeps you interested, comes at you with surprises, creeps up on you, then blows your mind.

    Outstanding Doc Serie

    This one was a truly surprise. A documentary focused on amazing stories. The difference is that each one of them it's not well known by the public. The arquive images are astonishing and the music it's surreal by songs from bands as This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twist . I strongly recommend.

    Sprawling and important

    This is dense and at times feels all over the place, but it comes together and you'll have moments of sublime horror and comedy on the journey. It's cynical and dark at times but illuminating and powerful at the same time. Great soundtrack too!

    It's not supposed to be easy

    I would recommend watching no more than one episode per day. There is a grand narrative there that's tied up neatly in the final episode. As always Curtis drivers an interesting collection of stories to feed your imagination and provoke. Documentary as art. Superb

    Mixed feelings

    The good: The individual stories, especially in the first part, are superbly interesting. Many other montage parts are informative, some are mesmerizing to look at and listen to, and the overall feel of the documentary series is almost hypnotic. The issue I have with it though are its generalizations and some of the conclusions and supposed insights, which are sometimes obvious, and sometimes just derived out of flimsy reasoning, derived from somewhat dubious or arbitrary premises.

    The individual/collective dichotomy is strained at best, and could be challenged by many alternative arguments in the context of history and sociology. The technology part is interesting, but there is nothing new there. The political commentaries are also standard issue and a bit all over the place. The conspiracies narrative, again, selective and based on certain opinions and aspects, ignoring others, which is the approach in the film overall. That's fine it it is supposed to show only the author's POV, but here it seems to aspire to reveal some deep universal truths, and in that it fails through a faulty - or deliberately tendentious - methodology.

    Overall, it's a fascinating series, but I think the author overreached in his ambition to tell a grand narrative that explains everything.
