balazsjason If you happened to enjoy the tidbit of the "Cinema of the unsettling", shown by The Office's Gabe Lewis, then you'll like this. It's not for me. Steer clear.
manoelacanova Wormwood series are a true events portrayed in documentary and fiction form - rather original, btw - about the suspicious death of Frank Olson, a CIA scientist in 1953. The documentary addresses topics related to the Cold War as conspiracy, lies, use of biological weapons and govern secrets; but the main drama, and here there is a psychological background in the series, is the trauma caused to the victim's family. The style as it unfolds the facts is somewhat slow, and at few times boring, but generally very well told. It pays to watch.
bshaef 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.
abmarchant . . . 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.
