It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The Olsons will forever be heroes to the Lyme disease, Tuskegee "Bad Blood" and Guatemala Syphilis cryme stories. I hope next Sy Hersch and Netflix can tell the story of the Lyme disease crymes. See truthcures.org or actionlyme.org Obviously spirochetes are the "perfect stealth pathogen" that as a fungal antigen shedder, causes immunosuppression and an AIDS like disease. We nominate Frank Olson to be the Patron Saint and Martyr for all those who suffer USA bioweapons crymes.

Wormwood has a compelling story about a possible CIA assassination of an army scientist, but the series fails to captivate you enough to be wowed. I have seen great documentaries and terrible documentaries, but this is what you would call a hot mess documentary. The story talks about Dr. Frank Olson's alleged suicide and the CIA's involvment along with some background into biological warfare used during the Korean war. The family of Dr. Olson, particularly his son, digs into the incident which was initially ruled a suicide until evidence suggested otherwise leading into an investigation. I don't want to give too much detail, because it is worth watching and putting the story together yourself. You just have to be alert and patient. This is not the type of documentary you show to people with low attention span or severe multi-taskers.The series was poorly made and presented. Each episode you have a lot of filler scenes of nothing really going on that pertains to the story. This is not something you watch at night after a long day of work, because you will fall asleep during one of their nothing scenes. There was no need for six episodes at all. If you eliminate the fifteen to twenty minutes of silent scenes then you could probably cut it down to three or four episodes.This series is definitely worth watching, but don't go in with high hopes of expecting high quality footage or a lot of story. It follows like Pulp Fiction where you get bits and pieces of the story at different times. The story is simply not sequential and very difficult to follow, because of its poor execution.

I made it through the first episode on my second try but gave up after the second episode was even more boring. I'm sure there's a good story in this somewhere but the director and actors didn't tell it in this vehicle. In my books it ranks right up there with The English Patient, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and Mr. Robot as the alltime boring put-me-to-sleep shows.

. . . also obvious, tiresome, repetitious, and low-rent. Long, moody pauses substitute for meaningful dialogue. The interviews are edited to draw attention to words that the filmmaker can then clumsily twist. The cinematography is weighed down by endlessly recycled special effects.
