    Have an hour? If you watch the first 5 minutes, you'll probably be hooked. I just watched it on my television, and it's brilliant.

    The other two parts are available on the internet.

    I'm interested in hearing the thoughts of others on this.

    I didn't watch because I was worried this might be related to "Will & Grace."
    :confused:

    I could tell this was an Adam Curtis documentary right away. I didn't know he had a new one out. If you get a chance watch his other series. They are all excellent.

    Yeah, I love how he draws connections between things that one normally wouldn't assume a connection between - and then shows how the connection is quite real and direct.

    Just watched the first three. Simply riveting. I've never had so many, "that's what i meant to say!" moments from a film. Curtis' connections between abstract ideas and their effects across so many fields of normally isolated study is astonishing. It's like watching a familiar program or movie from cameras filming the cameras. You find yourself looking at a world you've always watched in high definition.

    I've never seen Curtis' previous works, and am now cracking open the back-catalog I missed. Elated.
