Matt M @WhateverJones Apr 27 I thought it impossible to hate the Murdochs more than I did, but I was wrong. This disgusting patriarch and his miserable family deserve to fry together. Good doc, though.

I've long believed Rupert Murdoch has had the most malign influence on the greater Anglosphere of any single person in the past 60 years, especially his wretched Fox News, a hive of scum and villainy that's daily poisoning the body politic. I sometimes sit with the thought of what America might look like without it and weep. If you've seen the series "Succession", you've essentially met this family, just with better-looking people and infinitely sharper writing. The series is brisk and thorough, though less successful when nudging you toward empathy for these wretched people. Throughout, I kept returning to one question: at 94 years old, when exactly does humanity get to lance this rancid boil?

See more Garry A @heavyg Apr 5 This is a fascinating documentary about a fairly unlikable family. It plays out like a fast paced thriller. See more Ron K @Ron_k Mar 24 The producer wanted a price for the most "left and right wing" words in a documentary and it ruined the whole show, it fits perfectly in the Netflix ruined it again shows.. See more Andrew H @andrewhlt Mar 23 Meh....Nothing much to see here. I'm niether anit Murdoch nor pro Murdoch but I do lean conservative. I'm not sure how this series is trying to paint the Murdoch family but, in the end, these are just super rich people with super rich people problems. Nothing really interesting here...
