6/10
Lot of good content, somewhat poor judgement.

I came in pretty much blind to the details of Qanon. The first episode was quite interesting as they delved into the "Qtubers" and Q's rise to fame. But based on the impossible to get through second episode, it seems as if the director/editors were unsure what type of narrative to spin. Feels like a flat earth type of documentary that aims to make the viewer think of these people as the lowest common denominator. Especially with how they twisted gamergate. The second episode is basically entirely about the creators and owners of 8chan. And this Jim character is the least entertaining character I've ever had to watch. I'm sure he seemed interesting in person, but it has nothing to do with why anyone would watch a documentary on Q. While I don't believe in the Qanon movement, I think alienating the hundreds of thousands of those who do has proven to only strengthen their beliefs. And purposefully magnifying their blind spots while glossing over what they might find important will only increase their belief that the system is against them because they are into something.
