This docu series brings light several delusional narratives pitting positive views vs negative. Ultimately it's interesting to watch but I would argue it's wrapped around a core principle. People are obsessed with celebrity and fame.
For some of these women they have experienced terrible trauma due to bad policies and bad experiences with individuals and it's heartbreaking to hear about. However:
Listening to an American who lives in a country where you aren't given even basic healthcare without a cost expect a company to provide protection and perks outside of working hours for essentially a waitress is ridiculous. No the company isn't going to overly protect you because NO COMPANY DOES.
As someone who worked in the luxury industry the complaints about how their personal looks were handled isn't anything new. I wasn't allowed to grow a beard without approval and literally had it in my contract I had to shave every day.
When you have a group that was being paid higher than average wages for the time in an environment which had more rules and structure for them to complain showcases they never really worked anywhere else or are picking their gripes.
This doc is a lot of excused naive people trying to lash out at an organization that certainly was disturbed but they also complicit in a lot of dealings.
Hefner was a odd character. A clear narcissist and sex addict who manipulated to get what he wanted. That being said if you see a man who has 7 girlfriends and think that's normal and you can live a normal life with that. You clearly have a warped sense of relationships and human connection and I don't think you should be used as the litmus test.
