Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons

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.

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.

A very long documentary that is in need of editing. Episode One is especially drawn out. The story is lost in endless clips of underwear models flogging scanty panties. The Victoria angels over shadow the narrative of the rise of Wexner, Epstein and the mall culture that dominated the 80s and 90s. Episode Two has more content. Episode Three ends with fifteen minutes of deep dive theories about the behavior of Wexner and Epstein which should have had more development. The theme of wealth and capital is touched upon but that too is underdeveloped. Did certain prominent politicians and billionaires escape the fact finding? I did not get enough of that even though this was a long series.

This is primarily the retelling of the Epstein story, packaged with some of the bad behaviors of 2 men who led Victoria's Secret to the height of their success, and then ultimately brought the company to the brink of extinction because they were egotistical, misogynistic and refused to evolve with the times. There was nothing new in here that you haven't read or seen if you've followed the countless other segments on Jeffrey Epstein, or read any articles about Victoria's Secret from a few years ago. Could have been better had they just focused on Victoria's Secret, with a reference to the Epstein connection with Les Wexner; or focused on Epstein and referenced the connection with Wexner and Victoria's Secret. Trying to tell both stories missed the mark for me.

I expected much more, the documentary is mostly speculation and things we all want ANSWERS for, yet they're questions themselves.

I expected some of the VS angels to talk about what they saw/experienced, but they must be under a lot of NDA contracts.

Overall, could've been better. Hopefully someone else makes a docuseries with the actual details and uncoverings.
