We watched a few random episodes of this show in the past, so trying it again now as a series. It's OK enough as something to run in the background while eating dinner, but there's something off-putting about it. There is no journalism or documentary that isn't slanted, but even taking that into account something seems vaguely not real about the content in this show.
I think the air of falseness comes from the show trying to give you a look into a secret world, yet meanwhile its subjects know they are on a national network show. Its undercutting its own message somehow, and I'm not sure if Lisa putting a bow on it helps or hurts.

Watching Season 3.

Seems compelling enough while you watch it, but on later reflection I'm not really left with anything. Which is the business model of CNN, but I was hoping for something more.
There's a season 4 now. Can't access it. Which is fine.
