A well intensioned documentary series from Netflix and I hope there are more to come. Unfortunately the six programs suffer from the usual docu problem that the subject matter frequently doesn't provide any meaningful visual material to back up the voiceover narration so the makers go for a stream of news clips or stock footage.The best, for me, was the one on Donald Trump (Confidence man) and though the first half or so was the predictable collection of talking heads (mainly the excellent author Timothy O'Brien) and loads of Trump clips it got better to reveal his business misjudgements and nicely clips of him saying his new venture would be the biggest and best which turned out to be the complete opposite of what he had predicted.Of the other five programs the Canadian maple syrup heist was the least satisfactory, clearly a problem for the maple syrup producers in Quebec but not that important for anyone elsewhere. Payday loans, drug price-gouging by big pharma and the VW emissions scandal are great stories that are relevant to most folk. The VW program had the most dreadful background music as if my TV was tuned into some other channel at the same time, in fact I found the music in all the programs far too loud and why was it needed anyway?If Netflix continue with the series I would like to see tighter story lines and production, if the subject matter is that strong why not just let those who know all about it just tell to the camera, forget the excessive clips and loud music.

Started out fine but quickly took a major left dive. Unskillfully infusing that Trump supports profits over the Paris Accord. Did the producer of this documentary not realize that 20 minutes earlier in the same episode it was discussed how European governments care more about their car manufacturers ($$$) than people dying from NOX gas emitted from diesel cars? Why would we, Americans want to be in an agreement with countries are so disgustingly corrupt.

This is an outstanding service to ordinary people. Much of the revelations are known and public knowledge but ordinary people do not know what the big picture looks like. Thank you very much.

I liked this docuseries by Netflix until it turned political on the last episode. The last episode seems like it was just thrown in there just because they wanted to put Trump's name on something bad. The last episode had no substance and a fake attempt to tie Donald Trump to some criminal organization. They also harp on Trump's failures like they are a bad thing, it is clear that the producers have no idea what it takes to become successful. This is the exact problem that our education faces today, nobody is allowed to fail and learn from their failures. Disappointed at Netflix for going this route.
