New Amsterdam (2018)
S1E2 is absurd
This show started off great in the first episode of the first season. The medical system is indeed broken. However, it went downhill quickly. The amount of moral relativism and virtue signaling in the second episode is truly absurd. It is insane to think that any hospital allowing rituals involving normal people CUTTING into already dying people in the name of superstition is a good thing. It is simply a medically very dangerous thing to do, and this fact exceeds every cultural practice.
To then have the other doctor condescendingly and patronizingly explain "rituals" to the surgeon, as if singing to yourself while washing your hands is somehow equivalent to the extremely reckless BS that he was forced to allow before, is just completely over the top. I am really worried about how the rest of this show will play out after this nonsense and am uncertain whether I should continue watching. People in a few decades will look back to this and facepalm their heads inside out.

How to Fix a Drug Scandal (2020)
Judging from the straws they had to grasp at, I don't think the message holds any substance.
The creators of this never-ending documentary are going out of their way to gaslight you into siding with criminals. Meanwhile, due to lack of evidence to the contrary, the truth is that Sonja Farak has essentially never falsified any test results. The drug dealers are still drug dealers. These guys are literally making a mountain out of a molehill.
My conclusion from all of this is that the justice system is generally very fair, free from corruption, transparent, and unbiased. If you disagree, please watch and think about the documentary, and think especially about the fact that this case is apparently the "worst" they could find about the entire justice system.
