One of my all time favorites.

... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreWhen Isobel interviewed the reporter for the right, she drilled and wouldn't let him explain any reason for his behavior. Just the opposite for the CNN reporter. She talked about the accusation that Trump was wire tapped. HE wasn't wired but top officials that Trump spoke to regularly were. They had pics of the crowd at Obama's inauguration at peak. Then they showed the crowd at Trump's when people were leaving. If HBO/Vice is following suit with Twitter, Facebook, Google, Amazon and the like, you'll just deleting the unfavorable reviews. The left has reached their lowest point so, it's completely possible and easily believable. The more the media and the left are unfair to the right, the stronger and madder we get. So keep up the blatant lies, the misinformation and moral-less accusations. The left will not investigate the lies but the right will. We're not perfect and we make mistakes, but we've got integrity, morals, and the truth on our side. Just take just a second and think about this, all the media except Fox is 98% Trump negative. Most of Hollywood is never- Trumpers. Billionaires galore gave to the DNC. And we still won.
... View MoreStumbled upon Vice during a free month trial of HBO. Wow... what a great concept -- info about current events presented without network TV fluff, and no ad breaks.Initially, I thought 15 minutes per topic wasn't enough to cover a topic. I was wrong. Without ads, and without producers needing to be concerned about advertiser repercussion for honest and unbiased presentation of controversial subject matter -- it's like the orange juice concentrate of TV -- just add viewers ;-)If I'm being honest, having 4 seasons to choose from is ideal as not all the episodes contained something that sparked my interest. The show did however prompt me to keep my HBO Now subscription recurring and I definitely look at the summary of Vice each week to see if it's something I want to learn more about.Vice won't give you 100% of the info on everything it covers, but I don't think it intends to. It's a springboard for motivation to learn more if that first 15 minutes wets your appetite for knowledge.
... View MoreThis is rare gem of true journalism. What we see mostly on daily news is not news but propaganda of either govt or corporatist where every story has views of so called experts who has vested interests in giving the opinion they do. Some will accuse this series of being biased against big govt or big corporates but funnily they don't think anything biased in big corporate sponsored news shows as paid opinions. The journalism by definition involves showing two sides of story with neutral eye , but most news channels shows only one side of story, the story which they want us to see. This program speaks for those who cant speak themselves; the common people, oppressed ordinary folks who are victims and whose stories no one is interested in. As for big corporates and govt they always have a media to rest their case but for a change it is nice to have a show which shows other side of coin. You don't have to agree with it , you can still oppose it but how can you truly make your mind unless you see both sides of the story? Those who oppose this series as biased , i will say, see it and make your mind, its unpolished gem with mostly views of ordinary people and tats a big thing which is missing in today's TV media.At another level watching this series is a humbling experience. It shows complexities , absurdities and sheer vastness of the the world we live in. Makes us empathize with them and helps comes out of this little bubble called as America. Its truly eye opening , in most literal sense coz most of the stories shown here are beyond our wildest imagination and if anyone has told that such things are happening in the same world , it would have been hard to believe . ( like Nigeria story or Kazakhstan story ) so thanks for an inspiring and humanizing experience.
... View MoreWhile VICE chooses controversial and dangerous subject matter to report on, the seriousness of their subject material is lessened by the shamefully ill-suited reporters they choose to broadcast the reports - an Asian who's more caught up in delivering invective-laced interviews than getting to the heart of the story, a wimpy guy no one in their wildest imaginations could place in the danger zones he reports from. If they were to improve this show with reporters worthy of their subjects then I might be able to take it a little more seriously. For now, it seems like a comedy skit gone bad. The 8.6 rating was obviously posted by a dyslexic.
