McMillion$
« on: February 19, 2020, 07:37:06 AM »
A fascinating and incredibly well done documentary of the 'Monopoly' game scandal.  Three episodes in out of six so far.  As they peel the layers back, you'll end up getting slowly shocked, amazed, and saddened as to all that was involved.

My wife and I watched the first 2 episodes and we're hooked.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I had a few people recommend this to me and I watched the first two episodes the other night; I am hooked.

I will try to get to the third tonight.

this whole story has some extremely interesting characters.  You can't make some of these people up.

I put the first episode on, wow that investigator is eccentric  :lol I fell asleep like 15 minutes into it, but definitely enjoyed what I watched so far.  I'm curious what actually went down so I'll have to catch myself up here.

All episodes are now available.  I wish there would have been a little more in depth stuff regarding all involved and their penalties, but this is how to make a multi episode documentary.  Hardly any filler, incredibly well done, educational and entertaining, which left us wanting more.

Whole heartedly disagree with the bolded. Everything we were shown should have been a 'Dateline' special with commercials. This thing was drug out just to make a series out of it. It was interesting for sure.....but there wasn't (6) hours worth of stuff....half of the last episode was slow playing music to backgrounds that just panned left to right with no discernable meaning other than to simply pass the hour.
