The documentary explains nothing unexpected. It's just Joe Francis explaining how he found an untapped market and he tapped it and made himself very wealthy. In an Industry like this, many untoward things happened. No one will hold themselves accountable on either side. He definitely took advantage of the state of mind of many of these girls, and that is 100% wrong. Drinking responsibly is something many of us learn the hard way. That being said, I definitely don't condone what the cameramen did at all. I live in Las Vegas, and I have definitely been in the vicinity of filming her, in New Orleans and at Lake Havasu. In going to most of these places, we were aware of their presence and what they did. I think a lot of this is just regret. I think many (not all) of the girls did this knowing full well what they were doing, and they later realized their mistake. Been there and done similar. I get it. But I also accept responsibility for my own actions and don't blame someone else. I couldn't finish watching it because the music is loud and plays over the people talking. It might have been more interesting if I could have known what was being said. The editing definitely needs to be corrected to make this watchable.
Got was magnificent but often felt rushed to me. I feel like this season set up many character and story arcs and is adding layers to them...much needed layers. In GoT, as one who didn't read the books, I was often at a loss. I had to watch with my husband (who read the books) so he could explain things that didn't make sense to me because backstory wasn't included. The roux of the backstory is what gives it flavor.
I loved the important conversations in this episode. They gave meaning to much of what happened and is going to happen. The show plays in a way that someone with no knowledge of the universe can get fully caught up with the inner workings.
The characters are developed and not just laid out, and that takes time. It seems a lot of people don't care for that, but I do. I love how layered Daemon's character was played out. Matt Smith is brilliant and very well cast, as are most everyone. I did feel the character arc of Alicent a bit odd at times. I don't feel she has been properly developed, but I'm hoping it is redeemed in the end. Otherwise, I was satisfied with it all in the end. I'm ready for all the stories they laid out to be played out in seasons to come!
