No depth, poor character development and cheesey script. Story is predictable - I think the trailer sums it all up! Save your lockdown bingeing for something else.

Was familiar and a fan of the writer's previous work so was surprised at how disappointing this series is.

Poorly scripted humour.. not very convincing acting and heavy repetition of the same themes but not with any particular flair.

What is happening at Netflix?.. there seems to be so many 3/4s out of 10 nowadays..

Story plot weak Acting is mediocre Casting is ridiculous

And what's with this affinity for brylcreem by every male adult cast member?

Think Cocteau meets David Lynch with the colourful brilliance designed for the 4K HD TV sets we've been inundated with

Great visuals with hilarious storyline yet still a powerful message

Thank you

I'm sure Madrid has an amazing music history from the time of the revolution - but there was no evidence of this here. The choice of cigarettes and even the furniture gave it all away.

Didn't feel anything from this quasi-"period drama": characters were weak, storyline vacant, and styling/aesthetic was a disaster- at least they could have placed budget on authentic hairstyling and wardrobe - but it felt like a poor effort of a fancy dress party in Marbella...

Music is a powerful narrative, and I'm disappointed that the first episode wasn't held together by an astounding soundtrack from the era.

Even I noticed the mum's haircut was totally out of place.. and in the 60s, they didn't speak like this.. the script is too artificial- and that's coming from a giri..

Maybe it's SGAE, maybe it's the labels or maybe I've just seen too many good quality period dramas on Netflix... but this didn't hit the spot

Pa the Yamaha logo on the piano in episode 2 is classic rookie error

So in reality, the American billionaire inventor ends up pallying-up with the Central Asian dictator and facilitating those hospital bombings etc, sharing his Netjets account and partying on the same boat in St Tropez.

Whilst the brother of the dictator goes onto prolong even deeper corruption and amass even more riches once he's got into power...

For those that feel they cannot be manipulated by targeted fake messaging, think again.

I love the polarity between the two perspectives portrayed simply in the review section.

When Netflix is recommending rubbish like this, then you wonder what's next.. perhaps it's time to scrap the subscription and go back to pay-as-you-go?

Really unimpressed that this got into the Netflix library

Film should never have been made

Bring back the credit crunch

Maybe there's a translation issue, but it seemed like i was watching a parody of a vintage 'Monkey Magic' episode filmed at the Atlantis resort in Dubai

With a £30k budget and an amazing flair for story-telling, the director takes us on a journey through post-WW2 history and the circumstances as to why we are in this disillusioned state so many political agendas seem to be supporting.

This is great viewing and really gets you to think hard about the issues that matter: nothing can truly be explained by a 140-character tweet and that's exactly the problem: the world is too interlinked and complex to be understood via superficial analysis nor poetic slogans.

We need to collectively understand the deeper issues at hand, and find the solution that deals at source - building walls, imperial slogans, bigotry and racist knee-jerk responses are not the way

Peace

OK I will first admit I am biased in favour of the makers of this documentary. Many of us wanted to be one of the few that 'told' this story to society in an easy-to-understand format. Sure there are details missing.. but what's there to say, we all got greedy, the system facilitated it, and we've now created a tax burden which could last for at least 20 years or so. That's assuming of course, that we don't get another shot at financial Armageddon now that Government debt levels have shot up due to the nationalisation of the 2008 losses.

Michael Moore's version failed largely to his self-imposed ego. This production is far more polished.

I sincerely hope there's something positive that comes out of this - we need change and this movie highlights where and why? But as we all know, change has to start from within.

good luck to the filmmakers and thanks
