Broken

I enjoyed this episode of Broken but the last comments on the show I don't necessarily agree with. The comment was to stop the counterfeiting consumer need to stop buying the product. True but one of the main reason they are buying the counterfeit is price. If you want consumers to stop purchasing the off brands then the cost of the real brand needs to be more affordable. Take Kylie brand. You market to a younger demographic but how do you expect them to pay for your product. It has to be a 2 way street.

Seems biased and geared toward those who are lacking in common sense. The episode about the furniture tipping problem seems to be more like an infomercial for a particular furniture brand. Not that the danger isn't real. It's a shame that the consumer safety commission doesn't clearly state that consumers want to pay very little and get the highest quality product.... which is impossible. The whole point of view of the episode seem to take any responsibility form the consumer to assess their own personal risk. Stupid. Not impressed.

Too one-sided to be considered a documentary - more like sensational propaganda. The episode about killer furniture is laughable - while I'm not defending Ikea in any way this was a total witch hunt with lopsided commentary. There's merit in the subject it covers but they've decided you are too lazy so they've made up your mind for you rather than presenting a fair and balanced argument and leaving you to come to your own conclusion.

Most of the previous bad reviews sound like a smear campaign by reviewers that watched only 5 minutes of an episode after being paid to write a bad review. Follow the money, I wonder how many of the corporations that are scrutinized in this documentary paid for these bad reviews. There is a lot of quality information from people that have years or even decades in their fields, exposing the damage these industries and corporations have caused.

The only biased views here are from the people who clearly are on the side of (or were paid by?) the big companies which do not want this information to be known.

This is a fantastic 4-episode documentary series that shows many flaws (that I did not know and was appalled by) of the industries related to vaping, make up, furniture and plastic. The last one in particular hits you on the face when it shows that we are almost at a non returning point in plastic global waste. This series should be seen by everyone who wants to know a little more about the reality of consuming and should also be shown in schools!
