Spy Ops

It takes a lot of hard work to make a docuseries with such interesting subject matter so dull and un-engaging. For a start, there was just way too much waffling. We don't need to know every single movement of every single player in the show. And we especially don't need it to stray into conspiracy thinking like one or two episodes did. It honestly felt like they had so much material, but they didn't know what to do with it, so they just threw it all together in the hope it would be somehow interesting. It definitely didn't help that the episodes were a bit disjointed and hard to follow, and the music was immensely grating. But above all, it managed to be a perfect example of the kind of shoddy, half-hearted documentaries that Netflix seems to churn out every month.

Episode 1 relating to the war in Afghanistan was difficult to watch without getting angry about the sheer incompetence of the US military After less than a few months of expert attack on the evil Taliban in conjunction with the wonderful local resistance the USA military allowed the Taliban to simply run from Kabul and started idiot celebrations. The correct approach would have been to capture and immediately execute all of those evil Taliban members so the people of Afghanistan could finally have the peace they deserve What a disgrace after 20 years and being defeated by a bunch of thugs given all our military might.
