I enjoyed the first season then, the second season, while starting ok as the first one, gradually became propaganda video misrepresenting the situation of the middle East conflict and not even once attempting to show the reasons of the other sode, nor any aknoledgement of the 1200 civilians devastated by palestinian terror attacks. It seems the writers and arabs alike cannot even consider a viewpoint different than that in which they are right and victims, even to the slightliest degree. Intellectual disgrace that's what the show was in its final 4 episodes. And this is the mentality of a Palestinian living and growing up in the USA, so if even him cannot see the reasons of the other side (the only democracy across all their neighbouring country nor acknowledge the treatment of palestinians in jewish hospitals for decades or at least that Hamas is evil) there is no chance for peace with the palestinians. They want war, it seems from here, all or nothing. But the scriptwriters probably decided not even mention a minimum of condemntation of hamas and its decades of terrorism because they know that most palestinians praise hamas and martryrs are welcome for their absolute cause. From comedy to misrepresentation.

The movie had some good resources, especially the presence of Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes, who did their best... but the script is so bad.

Waste of good opportunities and lots of melodramatic useless montages, lots of 'hood' words but not much decent action. The dialogues try to be iconic but result only in waste of time as the characters do not have a true powerful backbone to backup their dialogue.

I found the attempt to attach themselves to the Katrina disaster a distasteful display, just as a device to try to give depth to the movie, but resulting in trivialization of it all. Overall, bad script, too many flimsy image characters, waste of resources and time.

It shows a very partial picture of things. Includes some supposed cults (because easy targets, visually, e.g. Osho) while leaves out some real and active cults (e.g. Scientology) out of fear and general opportunism. Just easy or obvious targets without goung deep into why cults exist and how come people nees them in this consuneristic world. Shallow overall and kind of an exact copy of what Explained had already done (still shallow). To give it intelletual depth they should have shown more points of view and not only people piling up with such an absolute predetermined and similar outlook on things. The creators act with the same absolutism of cults themselves!
