Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons

Sometimes it's hard to know where they want you to focus with this one. At times, it feels like it should have been titled "the case against Les Wexner" - and rightfully so based on what was presented. The body image claims about Victoria's Secret in all fairness could be made about virtually any swimsuit, lingerie or even fashion brand during their heyday. The current generation has brought fresh perspective to size, shape and inclusivity In the last 3 - 5 years. We can't revise history and lay all the blame of prior ills on one company. As a grown woman, I never looked to Victoria's Secret for framing my own opinion of myself, even though I liked their lingerie back in the day. Their shows were tongue and cheek at best but certainly not a 'to-be' model for me/my image. Like many streaming documentaries, this one probably could have been covered very well with one, 90 min well-edited episode that picked a lane in which to focus. Much of the content is regurgitated across episodes for shock value but little new ground is actually tread.

Honestly, it was very informative... particularly the bits about the mysterious relationship (financial and otherwise) between Wexler and Epstein.

Maybe because the series tried to cover so many different angles, it felt incomplete by the end.

I was actually really surprised that it was over... there wasn't a traditional wrap up vibe.

I still recommend watching it though... had a lot of interesting details.

First off - in answer to another reviewer, whenever Trump is mentioned, so was Bill Clinton and, off and on, Prince Andrew was tossed in to add royal enticement. So, this is an equal opportunity exposure doc. Trump and Clinton were mentioned as former Presidents. And it shows Trump with his wife, and Clinton with Lewinsky, so, if anyone was being bashed, I'd say it was Clinton, but what do I know. That's also not the point of this documentary. It's VS, their products, advertising and, of course, the models.

It is absolutely too long. It tells the tale of how a (rather competitive) young man bested his mom and dad in the Ohio retail arena and went on to create one of the biggest and most culturally influential brands in the fricking world! And who they stepped on to do it.

Also, how they forgot who they were and what they became, and made missteps and, well ..... you'll just have to watch it.

It was an interesting story of Rise and Fall of Victoria Secret and how Epstein was doing hell a lot of evil stuff behind the curtains that were visible to all the Elite and yet nobody bothered, it was an interesting theory how Victoria's secret might have been a CIA tool to control leading politicians, big business people and even Royalties by blackmailing them, I mean it's obvious the rulers did not want Epstein to talk or anyone to find that safe with CD's, because if he/they did we might have had a global revolution ...

This would probably have made a good 60 to 90 min documentary but producers must have decided that rambling for 3 hours was a better idea. The last chapter, the one that's supposed to bring it all home, just goes bananas wilt every conspiracy theory out there regardless of where it comes from.

Hugely disappointing.
