I like the series, but a few things that bother me is that they haven't set up the social situation for how people live their life in there realistically.

Circular clockwise stairs are everywhere, yet they seem to have the practice of keeping to the right when you meet people on the stairs. It does not make any sense at all, the elderly, and younger ones having already crossed >50 levels, would be much better helped with the handrails going up the stairs, not going down.

Having handrails on the inside would probably reduce a lot of accidents over time, and does not break the dogma that elevators are not allowed in the silo.

Who maintains the lights outside the airlock?

It feels like they are just focused on the plot, making the silo like a place where people are actually living, doesn't seem to be much of a priority.

wow; Big pharma doesn't give a fuck about you>>


well done

"A fourth key strand involves a young sales rep (West Duchovny) recruited by a seasoned hand (Dina Shihabi) in the art of coyly manipulating (mostly male) doctors to prescribe OxyContin, reflecting the naked greed at work and prompting Uduba’s character to deliver a particularly timely insult by derisively labeling Purdue’s fleet of model-pretty operatives “Malibu Barbies.”

Not as well done as Dopesick but still worth watching

"Arnold" (Schwarzenegger)- a documentary about him, from teenager to Governor - well worth a watch. I always liked his can-do attitude, and it shows through in this 3 part series.

https://www.netflix.com/search?q=arnold

Also, "Beckham", (David) a four part series looking at his life from a small boy to now, age 47. It's probably of little interest to many on here, but it's very well made and he comes out very well from it. I have zero interest in football but found it very interesting on many levels, and in particular just how ruthless his clubs were when dealing with him, and later proven to be demonstrably stupid in those actions.

I LOVED Beckham. A very well made document and I found it insightful and inspiring. Loved it.
