Gives you a peek into the Rabbit hole of QAnon and exposes the players, and even "Qanon" himself. It traces it's origins, it's precursors and the behind-the-scenes players both public and private who struggle with each other to control the narrative and the movement that they have created. Just watch it to find out the real truth for yourself. Definitely worth your time if you are even remotely interested in this movement.
I just watched the first two episodes today and when I checked out the response here I was shocked to see the main reasons behind why this is being negatively received. I don't really understand how everyone is finding this series as a bunch of unnecessary filler. This whole episode is about trying to uncover the motive behind this man purchasing and maintaining 8chan. I myself find that to be very interesting considering how vile the content is on there. When we meet the guy his behavior is so bizarre and psychotic it makes you even more curious as to his motives and how they may relate to QAnon. Maybe this guy has something to do with the information that's getting posted by Q on the site he he owns? I feel like this has been judged too early and given there's 4 more episodes I find it very possible for the information we're receiving now to end up being integral to what comes later on. I could be wrong though, and that's why I'm not giving this a star rating yet. Granted, if you simply just don't think anything that's being presented so far is interesting and I respect that. This show could end up being boring and pointless schlock, but I see the potential for this docu-series to be informative and impactful.
The first two episodes jump around a lot and don't really lay out details in a way anything like a normal documentary would. This appears to be because the are intentionally letting Q people themselves lay out the story, which is a smart way to avoid death threats but is reliant on the narratives of people with disjointed and irrational thinking. They succeed in establishing that there are lot of the core Q people that are outright nut jobs and often of seriously compromised intellectual capacity and judgement.
It gives the impression we are witnessing the birth of a new religious cult along a similar line to scientology, but potentially much bigger. Even when the 'facts' underlying their beliefs are being torn apart the Q believers are capable of of some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to avoid acknowledging they have been sucked into a cult.
Episode 3 opens up the fascinating and key subject of the Luther Blissett group and the novel "Q" first published in Italian in 1999 which is obviously the origin and template for Q'Anon and makes the whole story take an L'ron Hubbard twist.

Yes ep. 1 & 2 had a lot of detail, tedious, 'edgy themes/audio' and a bit sleeper..
EP 3 of the doc series really shows the amount of time that lapsed from the start of series. The audience starts getting some answers and progression! And many things to think about
I found myself pausing and looking stuff up numerous times.
Deeply saddened by how vile some people are.. .. While shooters livestreamed their actions some people actually still sent supporting messages in the livestream & many were worried their site '8chan' being taken down.
Sickening.
Its a documentary so of course you have to keep the creators agendas in mind.
-Regardless I did learn a lot of new things and for that I'm grateful.
~~Will update upon watching ep4-6~~

From the start it was clear what was important wasn't what the mysterious "Q-Anon" was saying, but how it got started and what its foundations were, who were the possible founders, and what was the evidence. The series is an investigation, but it's also a a dissection. Right from the first episode, we see the Watkins, Ron and Jim, as they play around in saying nothing, but saying everything. They come off as not laying all the cards on the table, and are so clearly having loads of fun. They really make the viewer's skin crawl. This was a great series. I hope it opened some eyes to the audience that the whole Q nonsense was and always will be, silly conspiracy craziness and is ultimately destructive.
