Borat's American Lockdown

Wow! What a great little movie put together showing Borat's five night stay with two mentally ill human beings. This gives more insight to the lock in and how they got to the Sheep Rally in Washington.

This has a low rating because the movie offended a lot of Trump and Qanoners who were born without a sense of humor.

The educational part is so disappointing. How could someone miss such a great opportunity to give coherent and understandable arguments. The extended scenes beyond the movie were fun and set a high expectation for the rest of the show. Then they sat down to disprove different points and sure they do but not in a way anybody would want to listen to them. If you're already in agreement with the points being made you already understand them. If you did not understand the points being made, you would have to be paid to watch this. It just isn't interesting. It isn't grabbing. And it definitely is not going to convince anybody of anything. What a wasted opportunity. They keep leading up to an episode with Hillary Clinton and then when you get to that episode it is such a letdown compared to the expectation of an intellectual explaining her position. I easily could've written into that better humor to make the point that would've actually humanized the situation. I don't want to give any spoiler but the actual argument to be made about that conspiracy theory is so easy to make. Well that's the hint to the non-spoiler. It is so easy to make.

It's unfortunate. I've always enjoyed Sasha's work. This series had it moments between the leftist beliefs and now, presently, false facts. Disappointing. He could have had so much good material but instead it was politicized. Real shame.

Everything Cohen does anymore is political unfortunately. First Not at film was funny. Now all these Borat shows are aimed at discrediting conservative views in a way that takes the craziest of the right wing and makes it look as if its the norm. Both sides do this and its why no progress will ever be made to bring the country together. Wasted talent imo on Cohen's part. He about got the crap kicked out if him at the Trump rally for this attitude. The other reviewer is correct. Watch til after the credits of the first episode.

The series is funny but more importantly it's really getting all the magat cultists riled up who think evidence based medicine is a liberal conspiracy so that's always nice.
