Six Of This?
If the 5 following this are anything like 1, my God.
I want all participants to fall face-first into a fire; not a single redeeming quality in anyone of these people.
1. Anarchy? Seriously? This isn't anarchy and MEXICO HAS LAWS/TAXES! Acapulco is no exception.
2. Acapulco is a safe community for tourists? Said with a straight face. Wow. Anyone with half a brain that's been to Mexico (or pretty much any South American country knows this is the most outright fallacy ever uttered. Just saying the words doesn't make it true.
3. Anarchist communities? Okay cool. But when your trash-hoarding, filth-dwelling, barely-standing-structures come crumbling down, please feel free to gather in a group to douse the fires with bucket lines. Fire departments (and their equipment/training) aren't free. Lawlessness comes with consequences. These are basic principles required for civilized society and throwing a tantrum because life won't let you have every cent you make doesn't equate to 'freedom'.
4. Wealthy people who all paid taxes on that money then suddenly decide 'the man' has them down isn't some radical thinking, and these aren't unique people. But when you decide you can just accept random 'AnCaps' who BORROWED MONEY FROM FAMILY (who all worked for their money btw) are accepted In because 'Hey! We'll show them we're not just spoiled weirdos!! We will take in all people and show the skeptics how inclusive we can be!!', can you honestly sit in astonishment that this concept was flawed from the beginning?
5. Why do I get the feeling that this supposedly random 'oh, we were just letting our puppy relieve itself in the middle of east jesus nowhere and the police came out of thin air to harass us!!', is complete and utter nonsense? These two malcontents who cannot seem to fathom soap and water are somehow innocents who just randomly stumble into a drug raid is anything but. There's far more to this and to seemingly dismiss this as bad luck with a badge and grudge is ridiculous.
6. This single episode felt like 4 hours- it's random and scattered, very piecemeal, horribly constructed storytelling. The intros make little to no sense, and I can all but guarantee the outcome. Stretching it into six episodes feels like nothing but a money grab, and coming from anarchists is comically ironic. Toss in the obligatory bitcoin NOMG!! Nonsense and it is completely a complete mess.
This could have made for a decent 2-part Dateline episode, but suffering through just one knowing there's 5 more and getting absolutely nothing from it was an utter waste of time; with no through story to follow that made any reasonable sense to make you want to engage doesn't bode well for the following 5 episodes.
My suggestion is to look up the details of this garbage story, then wait until all 6 episodes are available and fast forward through this train wreck of a docuseries to see the main players. If you feel you must suffer through all 6 of these, don't say you weren't warned.
