If you want to know the reason why people hate short sellers this film will give you a good idea. The cartoon character in his Cannes pile bemoaning what he didn't make by literally doing nothing is a perfect example. Their's, and the journalists glee at bringing down a company that employed thousands of people, and hundreds of thousands of investors, is quite hard to stomach. No doubt the company was dodgy to say the least but neither party were working for the good of mankind. The short sellers thinking only of the profit to be made by destroying the business, and the journalists revenge for having the tables turned on them. As a film it's well made and if you don't know the story worth the effort, personally I can't get over the unsurpassed delight at seeing the business fail.

First off, I have no reason not to have liked his new special, he doesn't offend me in the slightest. Frankly, I was bored after about 10 minutes, I couldn't even view the whole programme in one sitting. He's obviously a talented, inventive comedian who seems to have got himself down the "I must be controversial" rabbit hole and it seems such a waste. Please don't lecture us, entertain us.

It's been a brilliant, inventive series with countless interesting themes but it feels like it's run it's course. Time to move on and explore other avenues.
