We start a series of controversial events that speak of documentary events related to the corruption of car companies, especially Volkswagen, the famous car manufacturer. The series opens with one of the top journalists, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has great difficulty in accounting bankers, and new scandals on Wall Street reveal many of the latest scams and corruption.
Directorial styles and esthetics are different from episode to episode, and you might prefer some to others-but every story is worth knowing more about.
Dirty Money is eminently, compulsively watchable, somehow counterbalancing the heaviness of the subject matter with an undercurrent of urgency and a keen sense of how to keep things entertaining.
The installments range from an infuriating look at payday lending to an offbeat story about Canadian maple syrup cartels. The common thread is the abuse of trust.
Armed with a dangerous, even rock star appeal, Dirty Money entertains as well as it informs across its six episodes. But you may need a shower afterward.
Dirty Money proves its thesis not just by exposing corporations, but also by rendering thoughtful, intimate portraits of individuals whose desire to accumulate wealth has transformed into a terminal kind of myopia.
