Reviews

lindajobruton-63674 When 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.
BlobbyLight I am embarrassed by the amount of positive comments about this show. Are we, Americans, really so stupid as to believe any of this crap they're feeding us?! Fortunately, I have been to many of the places myself and experienced firsthand the real stories. And it ain't what they're "reporting" back to us.Vice is absolutely one of the worst "news" sources out there folks.Vice is nothing more than a finger pointing fabricated hipster tabloid. Stretching the facts (understatement) as they see fit in their condescending dumbed down desensitizing mock-shock-for-ratings style of "journalism". Please. Don't be so ignorant as to believe any of it.
Noodles88 The world as it is. These people go to distance to show us how the world really works. Our planet is a very big and scary place, filled with dirty secrets, mayhem, destruction and what not. I get it how some might not like it, you might see some certain biased but it's clear that the guy does not work for any branch in the government and if he seems pro some people and against others, to me, it seems that those people he is rooting for probably deserve it. He does not make commercials, he does not go easy on anyone and sometimes, an innocent bystander could prove to be more of a use than a scientist or someone who has "official data", as we know the world is filled with official data and footage. I think this is one of the best shows out there. "Justice without power is empty and power without justice in only violence."
nickdanzinger I have been a fan of Vice for a few years now and I've always enjoyed their online videos. If you have spare time, I would highly recommend checking out their website or youtube channel. The special on the North Korean work camps in Russia and their videos taken in Columbia are particularly interesting. With that said, the Vice team really took it to another level with the HBO series. Just watching the show is invigorating, from the topics covered to the exotic locations to the people they managed to get interviews with. Everything just comes together perfectly. With all the amazing content found in these short 10 episodes, it saddens me that most of the Western world is more concerned with celebrity bulls---. Do yourself a favour and enjoy the first season. You won't regret it!
