The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread
Seriously. So much for giving away what is most likely the most dramatic plot element of the entire series.

Another Duplass Bros. production. I’ll give it a try, but that Rajneeshi doc was a total letdown. If this one sucks, I’m out on the Duplass docs.

You are right JL. I've watched them both. They both reel you in, but there is something that keeps haunting me about this Evil Genius. Maybe I've been hypnotized!!
rajneesh: great. learned how to properly pronounce bagwan. had been doing it wrong all these years.
wormwood: yawn
alphago: really, really well done. one of the best i've seen in quite a while
I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

Evil Genius was interesting, but in the end I don’t think they really showed enough to support all the conclusions the director made at the end. Lot’s of holes in the story, IMO. And none of the coconspirators, including the supposed “evil genius” seemed all that smart to me. The plan was convoluted, but it was also idiotic. The entire premise was farcical.
At the end of the day, I enjoyed watching it, but I don’t actually think it was that well made. Making A Murderer and The Jinx were so much better done. I liked the Rajneeshi doc a lot better too. Seemed like a cheap imitation of much better “true crime” docuseries, which is a shame given how bizarre the subject matter was. The director needed to dig in a little deeper.
If the pizza guy was involved in the plot, why didnt he start blabbing as soon as the bomb started to beep? Why didnt he give names? If he wasnt in on the plot, why didnt he say that a man had put the collar on him, and a woman was the mastermind?
