Right under my nose
After having watched hit shows like The Wire, Breaking Bad, Ozark, Narcos, and Weeds, it was refreshing to watch a documentary from a different lens, one connecting all of the dots from a seemingly credible source; a former CIA analyst who once created an algorhitm to identify terrorist safe havens.
Not all episodes are equally engaging, but the format faciliates simple explanations through business fundamentals. By tying those explanations to the human need for survival over less preferable or unrewarding alternatives, the series is able to weave together a phenomenon that stretches the globe from the unlikelist, yet unsurprising sources. A gripping combination of masked and unmasked field interviews from suppliers, couriers, peddlers, and 'business' owners humanizes the stories, leaving the viewer to weigh the pros or cons of the war on drugs vs. legalization.
If you're a diehard fan of the shows mentioned earlier or looking for an introduction, then this series should complement perfectly.
