Borat's American Lockdown (2021 TV Special)
4/10
The educational part is so disappointing.

The educational part is so disappointing. How could someone miss such a great opportunity to give coherent and understandable arguments. The extended scenes beyond the movie were fun and set a high expectation for the rest of the show. Then they sat down to disprove different points and sure they do but not in a way anybody would want to listen to them. If you're already in agreement with the points being made you already understand them. If you did not understand the points being made, you would have to be paid to watch this. It just isn't interesting. It isn't grabbing. And it definitely is not going to convince anybody of anything. What a wasted opportunity. They keep leading up to an episode with Hillary Clinton and then when you get to that episode it is such a letdown compared to the expectation of an intellectual explaining her position. I easily could've written into that better humor to make the point that would've actually humanized the situation. I don't want to give any spoiler but the actual argument to be made about that conspiracy theory is so easy to make. Well that's the hint to the non-spoiler. It is so easy to make.
