    Good episode but final comments not so much

    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.

    Very informative series

    Most of the previous bad reviews sound like a smear campaign by reviewers that watched only 5 minutes of an episode after being paid to write a bad review. Follow the money, I wonder how many of the corporations that are scrutinized in this documentary paid for these bad reviews. There is a lot of quality information from people that have years or even decades in their fields, exposing the damage these industries and corporations have caused.

    A merely Made in USA commercial

    Just watched two episodes, they seems both a US advertising about how good is Made in USA while everyone else is bad. Especially how evil and trash is China. Feel like Trump committed this mini serie.

    Biased and dangerous

    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.

    Pure ideology

    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.
