Dark Side of the '90s

Arbitrarily found out about this show on YouTube because someone posted an episode about the Viper Room. I had to research it to find it. Loved every episode on demand so far. They should do more to advertise this series. It's great, but I didn't know it existed.

They could've approached this in an unbiased manner and it could have been very well done and still somewhat accurate, but they just couldn't do it. The history is good about how things have happened, but the narration and perspective is inaccurate and biased. Too bad because there was a lot of promise of nostalgia for a teen of the 90's.

I thought this series was pretty good, I'd definitely watch more if there is a third season.

However I felt I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I was born a little sooner... Being born in the 90s, I know *of* a lot of these stories from the media, I am familiar with them all but I was basically a babe at the time. I don't really feel the same sense of nostalgia.

I agree with others, certain stories could definitely have been left out and replaced with... better ones. I felt the same way about the original dark side series itself though. There was also a lacking in the 'dark side' aspect, it was more just a normal docuseries.

I would love it a lot more if they did an early 2000s version of this show, I think that would be pretty great for those of my generation. Of course it's biased and I am sure everyone would prefer a version of their own youth.. The only thing I have seen is a natgeo docuseries on disney about the 2000s and that one is super dull and slow yet short, I think that the dark side would do a much better job of it.

It's so politically driven and most episodes of season 2 are boring. Wtf were they thinking? There's so many interesting stories and public figures from the 90's! I don't wanna hear about UFC for two hours.

So I like this show, it's fun 90s nostalgia. It's not very different from other 90s decade docuseries done in the past by CNN or Vh1. The title implies it would be about something "dark sided" but it's not really. Some of the dark sided stuff seems like a stretch. I presume they're just doing it for branding purposes since Vice has other docuseries like "Dark Side of the Ring". Ooooioo.
