Broken

Those leaving poor reviews saying the series is an advertisement or is bias against Asian countries I wonder if they actually watched the series?

I watched all four episodes in there entirety and found them to be interesting and worth watching.

As consumers I think it's good to question what we are spending our money on and how we are being influenced by billion dollar industries, not to mention how our governments are being influenced by these industries.

I personally will be putting a lot more thought into my purchases going forward.

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.

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.

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!

This is just an ideological effort to sell us the idea that everything made in the USA is good and that the Chinese products are dirty and can kill you. Instead of making a criticism on consumerism and global economic relationships, this show only sells pro-USA ideological crap.
