I’m torn because the story and research here is top notch and quite compelling but the documentary craft itself is about as generic and bland as any other netflix true crime treatment, which is boring.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
