John Oliver covered this crisis recently: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=USkEzLuzmZ4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=USkEzLuzmZ4
- douche 10y agoI think Better Call Saul hit on how busted the public defender system is quite a bit in the first season.
- notdonspaulding 10y agoInteresting though they may be, John Oliver and Better Call Saul are not documentaries. I hope nobody is seriously informing their political opinion based off shows from Netflix and HBO.
- pitt1980 10y agoI hope people aren't seriously basing their political opinions off documentaries but I'm sure people do base their opinions off whatever appeals to their logic and emotions, in whatever medium it comes in
- ZeroGravitas 10y agoUnless it's "The Wire", which should be required viewing for any voter.
- robotmlg 10y agoNot totally relevant, but Better Call Saul isn't produced by Netflix, it just airs there outside the US.
- wccrawford 10y agoI was quite into John Oliver for a few episodes, and then I started to realize how heavily he twists things to make them into a good show. It's still entertaining now, but I don't consider it a source of "news" at all now.
