It can have half truths but it’s really hard to be factual when trying to sell a show. Adam is a comedian and an entertainer so any information that can be snagged regardless of validity serves the objective.
It’s typically really hard to keep people engaged when you are trying to give neuace and data that’s not as conclusive as we want. Hell, I’m trying to be as objective as possible in this and it’s boring me.
Many of the episodes really frustrated me with the lies. I’m not trying to defend them just elaborate that their objective was never to be true but captivating.
Part of the problem is trying to be authoritative with broad conclusions. You can have a documentary cover a story or a person’s life while being thorough and entertaining, but things like an overall industry’s practices are just too complicated to go over quickly. People are going to have lots of varying experiences with it, and just giving facts about it misses human elements that allow people to imagine being there. It needs to be a story, but just one story also can’t apply to everyone.

Yeah this is why I never trust anyone who bills himself as a smart guy, because chances are they’re a dumbass or worse a charlatan.
