What's Next: The Future with Bill Gates

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.

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.

All those who put a 1/10 on this series must be among people who believe the immensely stupid conspiracy theories listed in the second episode. If you believe in "microchip 5G coronavirus masterplan by lizards", I suggest you go back to school before watching this series and make stupid comment.

The series explore how the next generation of AI will make a profound change in our society. A lot of speakers from the tech, cinema and others discuss various aspects of this deep and complex subject.

One aspect discuss here in depth is the alarming spread of fake news and how people jump on it with no insight what so ever. And if you don't believe it a huge problem, just read the hate reviews on that very website.

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.

Very accurate observations of the current society and the age of misinformation. Ignore the low reviews; those folks just feel personally attacked. People can't seem to accept that reality has a liberal bias.

The internet has really shaped the way people think, the way they perceive reality and interact with others. It's important that we try to find ways to ensure accountability in actions and fairness in reporting. Episode 2 addresses just that. If you aren't frightened by intellect, you will find this show thought provoking.

I'm 66 words short of being able to post this review but frankly, I'm already done.
