What's Next? Die Zukunft mit Bill Gates

It's a shame self-serving billionaires who compete with Bill Gates businesses and authoritarian populist presidential candidates like Trump have normalized hate against smart people who have proven they can improve the world & want to continue doing it. They want you to hate science that can help you & are jealous that a man finds a way to improve the world and profit on it at the same time which is the best way for things to work in a capitalist world. Trump has at least exposed how huge a percent of people are impressionable suggestible myopic idiots. The irony of it all is Gates will improve the lives of the people who have been disinformed into hating him.

Wow A bunch of negative reviews from people who actually think they are "through the looking glass" in regards to Bill Gates without actually looking into the man's actions while simply listening to rumor and inuendo about Gates. Put it simply, this man has done more for society than any other Billionaire in recent memory. The giving pledge is 100% proof of that. And I'll tell the naysayers to once again , believe in the actions, not the rumor and stop sitting in your rabbit hole and following your social media feeds and thinking you know something that no one else does. The list of this mans contributions to the WORLD would fill an encyclopedia and this documentary shows us a future that may not be as grim as people think. He shows us what the future could be by tackling issues like Global Warming, Disease, AI and extreme wealth. I came away feeling hopeful for our future after watching this. These episodes are the most important issues the future of mankind has to deal with and instead of bashing the man lets credit the FACT the he is thinking of them and more importantly DOING something about it and give credit where its due.

Everything make sense in this series. Elwe just need more billionaire to take example on Bill Gate and contribute more without thinking about profit. All the bad reviews here are made by people who clearly didn't watch the entire series period. If all the ultra rich people in this world would contribute in giving a huge chunk of their wealth to science and technology, they could eradicate poverty, create a better future for everyone, cure disease and as a society we will live longer and better. Money roule this world and if you're ultra rich and you dont use your money to create a better world then you dont deserve that money at all.

I don't mind Bill Gates and I think this type of content is interesting. But... you can tell that this is meant to have a fairly political message in it at the same time. And it happens to be released right before an election. You can tell by the people they interview, clips they play and words they use.

I wish they would make unbiased and neutral.

It's hard to make anything nowadays that doesn't have a political message built into it. They are clever in this and try to hide it but it's easy to sniff out.

My review would be higher if this wasn't political and trying to bury a political message inside of it but unfortunately that's the route they took and it ruins the doc for me.

First I have to say IGNORE THE HATERS!!! If you read the reviews so far they are about Gates himself NOT the series. People leaving reviews need to focus on why people read the reviews, and that's to find out if the series is any good or not. I can dislike a person with everything in me. But if they say "putting your hand in the fire will burn you" that doesn't mean they're wrong. I also wouldn't just instantly dismiss them either, as these 'hosts' pretty much are just the talking heads not the researchers, writer's, etc. Still with me? Alright, let's review the series now.

The series itself is thought provoking and at times pretty insightful. That being said, it's nothing special to write home about but isn't terrible either. Honestly, it's a series touching on issues in a way that tries to be as middle of the road as possible. I believe the approach is to try not to alienate any one "side" of things. That being said, this is where it tends to loose out, instead of going all in the topics the series holds a lot back in their attempts to not upset anyone and not be political. While that in and of itself is a good thing in this day in age, it causes the series to not go far enough on the issues it's discussing.

I'd say this is a good series to play in the background while doing something, and a better series to watch as you're settling in for the night. Engaging enough to keep you interested, but also not enough to overstimulate you or really draw your attention from other things.
