I really do not like it at in episode 1, of his latest doc series, Curtis did not show the very questionable results from MK Ultra and chose only to cherry-pick the only woman coming forward to say that it wiped her memory and cut it so that it looked very credible. And then went on further to say that it only wiped patients memories which from my understanding all it did was create a bunch of people with PTSD or Nothing at All.
Ironic that the episode is largely about paranoia,disinformation and persuading someone's thoughts based on narratives. Curtis asserts shaky if not outright wrong results about a once popular American Mythos, MK Ultra.
If my suspicions are true; in that which he has assembled a series of facts that he believes fits a certain narrative that he is weaving into this documentary, the irony would further solidify into an ingot. As this first episode is also about succumbing to false narratives via paranoia and the false idea that appearance of patterns alone are evidence enough of a phenomenon. While this episode attempts to dispel the notion that grand conspiracies and higher forces are driving the centuries narrative, his cuts and edits and how he presents the information may weave his own.
It's disappointing because I want to watch something like this that condenses and attempts to form some kind of understanding on how the state of the world is today.
