It's a six part series. So be patient and by the third episode it picks up speed. If the ignorant reviewers on here would wait till episode 4, they could see how it all sets itself up. This is the truest documentary on Q I have seen yet. I followed this subject for over a year and I still learned more. People should watch this, just so they can see who Q is. I think you would be shocked who the Q person is. One of the better documentaries I've seen in a decade.
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.
In seeing all of the six episode documentary mini-series by filmmaker Cullen Hoback, what I got was a search for trying to explain what Q is, was, could have been, and ultimately fizzled out to leave thousands disillusioned and confused while others hold onto the hope it is something bigger that never really was.
What this mini-series sets out to do was start at an origin of "Q", follow the lines, expose the players and put it all out there for the audience to decide.
At first, it came across as a slow moving digital 'who done it' and there were plenty of whos that might have been it, and the whos that wanted to take credit for it and had nothing to do with it. Who wanted to be big man Q. It was like the "Anonymous" craze, but this was through the internet with a bunch of...Gamers?!?! Well, the documentary starts there and lays what they found out for your thoughts.
That's where the mini-series got bogged down in the beginning in tracing its origins and introducing the characters. This is because the filmmaker Cullen Hoback took 3 years in finding and gathering info. But towards the end of this documentary mini-series, in tying the evidence gathered a picture emerges. Q may be who you think -- or not -- as you may have been deliberately led astray.
Based on the information presented, it draws a conclusion as to who has been swirling around in the Q origins, but it's up to the viewer to decide. And this makes me want to suggest to turn all this over to the DOJ/FBI to take a look at it too. But this viewer decides in seeing Ron Watkins blink rapidly every time he lies, put him into the suspicious column for me. Quite the cat and mouse game this turned out to be, Cullen Hoback deserves kudos in chasing it down and presenting what he found, and it becomes quite enlightening to watch.

Everyone needs to watch this to understand how these kind of conspiratorial thinkers live. The followers are very much serious about it because they are craving some way to make sense of the ever increasing corrupted world, and find a community of like minded cynics. But the leaders (codemonkey et al) are not serious people. They treat the real world as if it were a game because that is how they have lived their entire lives. Behind a computer screen, devoid of real human connection, and detached from reality.
I also really applaud the filmmaker. It cannot be easy to follow a story like this for so long through so many twists and turns, many of them dead ends, through the lies and drama and intentional deceit, and stay neutral and bipartisan enough to earn your subjects' trust. Brilliant work.

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.
