NYC Epicenters 9/11-2021½

I think that this series does an excellent job of informing viewers of details of events that they may not know about that has happened in NYC.

Spike Lee starts off with Covid. Then goes to the problem of racism in the country as a whole and the effects that had on New Yorkers. Then the Capitol beach. And then to 9/11.

Thought this was well presented and even handed. I wonder what happened to us, Americans since 9/11. When did we start hating fellow Americans. Reading the reviews, I didn't see what the various complaints were on the 3 episodes.

I thought the 3rd episode on 9/11 was powerful and moving. I never knew about the boats who evacuated all of the New Yorkers from the tip of Manhattan.

This episode alone should be required viewing for everyone. It's should not be Never Forget, it should be We Always Remember, for those who sacrificed themselves to help others.

It started off compelling for the first 45 minutes with interviews centering on the front-line healthcare workers & the loved ones of the deceased, but I noticed the documentary's trajectory suddenly changed and I had no idea what the point of this documentary was.

It especially lost steam after it went into a tangent w/ progressive windbags using the series as a platform to air their grievances over Gov. Cuomo. I expected that after Ron Kim was introduced since he's always had a strange hard-on for him.

Just ignore 1 * reviews from these flat earth right extremist Trump loving cry babies. This is an awesome docuseries with a lot of interesting side stories that does justice to the greatest city in the world - NYC.

Pretty objective view for about 60% of the show. Really compelling stuff, great interviews from regular people you've never heard from before, which was really emotional and was truly compelling.

Then spike adds a "VH1" type comedy relief "witness" who clearly was only in the show for 'scripted' reasons. After he had the hi wire guy and the base jumper interview, and so many "credible" stories, which were amazing and kept me glued to the screen! It was truly disappointing to see some random person, bad mouthing the first responders for keeping poeple at bay after such a serious atrocity. There wasn't a clear message there, because the film tried so hard to reward the first responders, and then he blamed them for protecting the crime scene...

And then at the end he put George Floyd in the film. I completely agree that he was wrongfully treated, abused, and murdered. However , why take away from the9/11 victims? Please don't convolute and confuse the masses.

That is all.
