The Age of Influence

I'm an old fart - had a rotary phone - so I considered this educational TV for me. And boy was it.

But the main reason for this review is to say that the episodes in New York City are some of the most beautiful scenes of the city I've seen in a long time.

God bless drones.

Then there are the influencers themselves. They are fascinating in their reasonings. All of them do it for different person reasons which equate to massive dollar signs!! MASSIVE!!

And what some people do to get more of that money, is atrocious.

This documentary is not at all shy at showing us what's behind that green curtain .... while showing us how beautiful NYC is too.

Disappointed by this show's current rating. Maybe I'm giving it an 8 to compensate for that, but this show delivered exactly what I was looking for.

We all know about the Theranoses, the Bernie Madoffs, the FTXes. I wanted to see some frauds that I've never heard of. This show gave me that and it gave it to me succinctly.

All the scams were unique with some exceptions (the first and last episode were basically the same kind of scam, just by different people).

In the Fiber Feud episode I don't even think there *was* a scam. Sure, it had people I generally disliked, but no scam there in my opinion. And yet, I was riveted. And that's something I want to thank the creators of this show for. Y'all created something interesting to watch.

The Age of Influence is a documentary series that is based around social media and influencer culture. The series covers multiple social media scandals, scams, and exploitation. The series gives so much more information and detail then most documentaries I have seen. It was so entertaining and a very interesting look at what social media has lied to us about and Influencer culture. I would recommend this show to any documentary fans or anyone who likes to get in deep in news stories. This definitely deserves more popularity. I really hope you give this a shot. It is so well done and had so many great details.
