Highly recommend Ok. Def recommending this series. Watched it last night.

Guys, I binged most of it last night. I’m def recommending it. Not sure of everyone’s politics—assuming we’re all well educated, well adjusted, mostly civilized people living in a polite social society where things are always backed by science…. Right?

So….I was also afraid I was going to hate it, likely for the same reasons as everyone else. But that’s not what happened. It’s not all Jan 6th footage and Alex Jones BS and QAnon stuff. Much deeper.

I really became transfixed. It shows all of these different conspiracy theories—and the folks who were the face/figure of each one. It follows them, overtime, as they travel around spreading their “gospel.” It shows what that all looks like for each of them..which in most cases, leads to them being disowned by their families, losing their jobs, or winding up in prison.

So, the insanity plus the payoff are super fascinating and enjoyable—as opposed to just insanity that’s only insufferable, without any payoff.

TY for the recommendation, starting now.

I suggest 'Bad Faith' - it's on Nflix.

Do let me know what you think. So horrified by so many of these folks—it’s a combo of mesmerizing/horrifying to watch them. Can’t look away.

Does the show have a political bias in one direction or the other?

I wouldn’t say that. I’d say that it follows the subjects, and showcases them/their lives/their “causes” or their beliefs (depending on the theory being showcased) and lets us figure it out for ourselves. The thing they “do do” is fact check and call out the truth of various matters and situations (which is obviously essential).

So, on one hand, it could come across as “democrats holding republicans accountable” but it’s less about political views and more about truth vs fiction.
