Tight engaging funny first episode
JustHavingALook18 April 2023
Not sure how the idea for this series came into fruition but wow! Great job guys.

We follow a quirk/dorky fbi agent in Florida who could have a future as a stand up comedian on his quest to: get into the undercover unit, get the green light from the DA to start an investigation on a potential scam targeting mcdonald, get a mcdonald associate to participate in the investigation.

This is a great structure, it gives the audience a clear understanding of what is at stake.

Won't spoil much but the scene with the "colorful" suit and the scene at the beach are so much fun I can't believe they were not scripted.

I appreciate the reenactments, very much needed, subtle and gracious, they do not distract from the exposition VO.

Editing is tight neat pacing and creative with the graphics on screen. Also: personally, I do find the split screen effective.

Episode 1 is Great

We enjoyed episode 1 very much. They went through the discovery, essence of their FBI plan, and the players. Lots of fun to see their energy and delight at stumbling onto great stuff.

HBO's Fall From Glory
codymurphy279 March 2020
Remember when HBO not only housed prestige drama like The Sorpanos, you know, only the greatest show of all time, but also the biggest prize fights one could witness? Gone are those days. Hey, a documentary is fair game, if its done correctly. Fake reenactments of every single detail spoken is such a 2 bit way of going about a docuseries, really reeks of cheap late night TV. Its presented in such a hack way that I would have to doubt if the witnesses speaking are for real, if not for old video tape evidence where you can see and hear them. I've read about the story in question, and it really seems like they set out to really ham this and over dramatize it as much as possible. Hopefully it gets better from here.
