    Thought provoking with a Reality Bias

    Very accurate observations of the current society and the age of misinformation. Ignore the low reviews; those folks just feel personally attacked. People can't seem to accept that reality has a liberal bias.

    The internet has really shaped the way people think, the way they perceive reality and interact with others. It's important that we try to find ways to ensure accountability in actions and fairness in reporting. Episode 2 addresses just that. If you aren't frightened by intellect, you will find this show thought provoking.

    I'm 66 words short of being able to post this review but frankly, I'm already done.

    Hopeful...

    Wow A bunch of negative reviews from people who actually think they are "through the looking glass" in regards to Bill Gates without actually looking into the man's actions while simply listening to rumor and inuendo about Gates. Put it simply, this man has done more for society than any other Billionaire in recent memory. The giving pledge is 100% proof of that. And I'll tell the naysayers to once again , believe in the actions, not the rumor and stop sitting in your rabbit hole and following your social media feeds and thinking you know something that no one else does. The list of this mans contributions to the WORLD would fill an encyclopedia and this documentary shows us a future that may not be as grim as people think. He shows us what the future could be by tackling issues like Global Warming, Disease, AI and extreme wealth. I came away feeling hopeful for our future after watching this. These episodes are the most important issues the future of mankind has to deal with and instead of bashing the man lets credit the FACT the he is thinking of them and more importantly DOING something about it and give credit where its due.

    Watch and think

    I am exactly Bill's age. I am a retired librarian and IT professional. But I'm by no means wealthy (bless Social Security and Medicare). So in short I don't have a lot in common with him other than our age.

    Nevertheless I pay attention. I know what his Foundation has been doing. I watched his Town Halls with Anderson Cooper during the pandemic. And we were fortunate to have him at that time. Many have forgotten how scary it was. The lonely, secluded deaths in the hospitals. The freezer truck morgues. The empty shelves at the grocery. The loneliness.

    It is really hard as you get old to keep an open mind and preserve your sense of curiosity. Doing those things can be exhausting.

    But Bill shows us precisely (and with no qualms as to how he appears) that it is good to be curious and to be open minded, even if it is hard and tiring. He is energetic in his pursuit of reality.

    It's good for us to think and to rethink. And then to think again.

    This series is for sure not what I expected. I did not expect Bill to interview people like James Cameron and Bernie Sanders. I was very much impressed and envious of his path. I'd love to sit in a room with Cameron and talk AI.

    I thought it was interesting watching him sit in a room and listen to entrepreneurs talk about AI. He took notes with paper and pen. The old fashion way and the way I truly believe is the best way: paper to pen to fingers to hand to arm to eyes to brain. I think that path sticks better than typing.

    Also, there really are no answers provided here. These episodes are meant to be thought provoking discussions. They are meant perhaps to move us forward on finding solutions.

    These solutions and life itself are fluid and changing (even if we don't like change). Bill is good at both adopting and adapting. It is how we will survive and maybe save our planet.

    As I mentioned I am exactly Bill's age. I am at the point in life where my medical issues are bringing my end closer and closer. I am glad we still have Bill. And that he's willing to put himself out there as he continues to learn and continues to be a force of good on this planet.

    If you're not a troll, you'll like this series

    Everything make sense in this series. Elwe just need more billionaire to take example on Bill Gate and contribute more without thinking about profit. All the bad reviews here are made by people who clearly didn't watch the entire series period. If all the ultra rich people in this world would contribute in giving a huge chunk of their wealth to science and technology, they could eradicate poverty, create a better future for everyone, cure disease and as a society we will live longer and better. Money roule this world and if you're ultra rich and you dont use your money to create a better world then you dont deserve that money at all.

    Why so many bad reviews?

    I guess I am out of touch with social media and all the hate against Bill Gates. Suppose I have missed out on all that has been said about him. I found the series really interesting and all the things said about him that I never knew, which was discussed in the show. Some of it seemed really far fetched and sad he got ridiculed for something he didn't say or do or had his words twisted. Sad the world started following the lies and next thing he is the worst person in the world. I think Bill Gates is a great man, I remembering him for being the creator of Microsoft and not all this other stuff they started saying about him. Sad too many people trust what is said on social media and then go on to ruin his reputation! I think he is a very smart man and this series shows that where it was funny at times plus serious and very eye opening of our future. Especially what is being put out there on social media. This series is worth a watch if you can put aside any negative things you've heard about Bill Gates. Rate the series not Bill Gates.
