I have only watched the first two but I have an opinion.
These are produced from the perspective of leftist Democrats.
They interview lots of former drug dealers and kingpins. The information may all be “true” but one sided.

I noticed that when the Weathermen were mentioned they briefly showed Bernadine Dorn (not in the news) but they made no mention of Bill Ayres (very much in the news). When speaking of drugs in South America they mention the terrible, unfounded fear of communism in our government. They mention Mena, Arkansas but ignore the Clinton’s involvement.

Yes, our government did some really bad things but drugs in simpler forms were around long before we started meddling. It feeds into the leftist meme that white Republicans dumped (and still does) drugs in the inner city to control the blacks.
So far it appears that it is just a hit peace on Republicans.

I agree completely, vanilla. From the ads that hyped it before it aired (I like Antique Archeology and Mountain Men in limited doses) I could tell it was going to be a leftist slamming of the USG from The NY Times perspective. That I find repulsive. Time to say goodbye to DirectTV, if I can pry my dear wife away from her old movies.

I'm sure you're aware, but a very good documentary on this topic is National Geographic's Drugs, Inc. Straight up look at the world of illicit drugs from cops to users to criminals. No lectures, just one of the best produced documentaries out there.

I haven’t watched at all.

What you say makes sense and is usually the case.

It’s common in the media and it is the New Left perspective.
