Tom D. @TomD78 Jan 25 Slick, sprawling, and at times hard to follow, monumental effort with some fantastic sequences. The commitment to see this show through pays off. Reminds me of the larger story told in Singleton's FX series Snowfall. See more Nick G @RT79397732 Jan 9 Wow, this was the most incredible documentary. What a story. A journalist in the 90's (Danny Casolaro) stumbled upon a story about software written for the DOJ that was stolen from the company that developed it. As the journalist gets deeper into the story he learns more and more about CIA operations over the last 50 years. He's ultimately killed by someone from the US military / CIA in a hotel room in WV. The documentary follows a different journalist who investigates why the first journalist was killed and all of the mysteries come to light, but he's shed a light on secrets that were never supposed to be known to the public and he realizes the danger he is in (psychologically and physically). With the help of some good people who loved Danny (the original journalist who was killed by the CIA / Military Intelligence) he's able to step back and let it be. Fascinating.

This documentary is unfortunately a big mess. See more Shane S @RT80449490 03/31/2025 I work with NCIC. You may not like it but this doc shows how dirty the government can go. O limits. But that's every government. See more charlie T @RT04455475 03/11/2025 This was good. Don’t believe all the negative reviews. They are all written by CIA operatives trying to get us to look the other way. I know the big old lady in the final episode…the one whose husband is an “auto mechanic” is the ring leader of the whole operation. Let’s bring her down!

This could have easily been edited down to one episode. Whether or not the vagueness of the series was because of an unseen hand is hard to be determined. Overall, pretty frustrating.
