    American point of view

    The title of the documentary sounded promising only to find out later that is heavily documented from am American point of view. So be aware of that.

    On face-value, interesting documentary about the system in the USA. As a non-American, I am still stunned that the majority still believes that the American system is the best one (eventhough the Dems won the last elections, the Reps will be back next year).

    This is what they should teach in schools

    Minus it's very american focused and doesn't talk about how you can put your self in these situations, and to take responsibility for your own actions.

    This does open your eyes to what is out there, how your credit score can be affected, the importance of savings, and to think before you act.

    Those who have called this "woke" or gave it a low score are obviously in debt due to their own actions.

    Has potential, but plays the victim card mostly from Vox

    What can I say? If you want to be a victim, this is your series. Very disappointed with Vox. This series should be a wakeup call for most and to take charge of their lives. Instead, it persuades you to think its not your fault. That you are innocent. Watch if you have nothing better to do. Vox, if your reading this, please wake up and present a better series.

    Very biased

    I'm fairly progressiv, or at least moderate. I watched a single episode with my spouse hoping that it would fill in some missing pieces that we haven't learned. It was super biased about the need for progressive policies to support retirement. It didn't actually teach us anything about retirement. I don't recommend.

    Only show one woke side of the story

    Not a real analysis - just show one side of the story.

    Some parts are interesting - however quite woke. If you're already woke you'll lap it up.
