Q: Into the Storm

From the start it was clear what was important wasn't what the mysterious "Q-Anon" was saying, but how it got started and what its foundations were, who were the possible founders, and what was the evidence. The series is an investigation, but it's also a a dissection. Right from the first episode, we see the Watkins, Ron and Jim, as they play around in saying nothing, but saying everything. They come off as not laying all the cards on the table, and are so clearly having loads of fun. They really make the viewer's skin crawl. This was a great series. I hope it opened some eyes to the audience that the whole Q nonsense was and always will be, silly conspiracy craziness and is ultimately destructive.

Everyone needs to watch this to understand how these kind of conspiratorial thinkers live. The followers are very much serious about it because they are craving some way to make sense of the ever increasing corrupted world, and find a community of like minded cynics. But the leaders (codemonkey et al) are not serious people. They treat the real world as if it were a game because that is how they have lived their entire lives. Behind a computer screen, devoid of real human connection, and detached from reality.

I also really applaud the filmmaker. It cannot be easy to follow a story like this for so long through so many twists and turns, many of them dead ends, through the lies and drama and intentional deceit, and stay neutral and bipartisan enough to earn your subjects' trust. Brilliant work.

It's a six part series. So be patient and by the third episode it picks up speed. If the ignorant reviewers on here would wait till episode 4, they could see how it all sets itself up. This is the truest documentary on Q I have seen yet. I followed this subject for over a year and I still learned more. People should watch this, just so they can see who Q is. I think you would be shocked who the Q person is. One of the better documentaries I've seen in a decade.

The first two episodes jump around a lot and don't really lay out details in a way anything like a normal documentary would. This appears to be because the are intentionally letting Q people themselves lay out the story, which is a smart way to avoid death threats but is reliant on the narratives of people with disjointed and irrational thinking. They succeed in establishing that there are lot of the core Q people that are outright nut jobs and often of seriously compromised intellectual capacity and judgement.

It gives the impression we are witnessing the birth of a new religious cult along a similar line to scientology, but potentially much bigger. Even when the 'facts' underlying their beliefs are being torn apart the Q believers are capable of of some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to avoid acknowledging they have been sucked into a cult.

Episode 3 opens up the fascinating and key subject of the Luther Blissett group and the novel "Q" first published in Italian in 1999 which is obviously the origin and template for Q'Anon and makes the whole story take an L'ron Hubbard twist.

Yes ep. 1 & 2 had a lot of detail, tedious, 'edgy themes/audio' and a bit sleeper..

EP 3 of the doc series really shows the amount of time that lapsed from the start of series. The audience starts getting some answers and progression! And many things to think about

I found myself pausing and looking stuff up numerous times.

Deeply saddened by how vile some people are.. .. While shooters livestreamed their actions some people actually still sent supporting messages in the livestream & many were worried their site '8chan' being taken down.

Sickening.

Its a documentary so of course you have to keep the creators agendas in mind.

-Regardless I did learn a lot of new things and for that I'm grateful.

~~Will update upon watching ep4-6~~
