[TV] HBO's Vice

This show is awesome. They did story about the waste in afghanistan. It was interesting story in that the US build a power plant that is being unused, because it costs too much money to operate. It was cheaper to import the power from its neighbors.

 

Check out their youtube channel, tons of more stories on there

Great TV show, magazine, and YouTube channel. The HBO episodes are different and with better production values (duh), but the YT videos are more eclectic in scope. I've ran into Suroosh, one of its co-founders, several times through a mutual friend. I'm a big fan of VICE.

 

I loved their footage of North Korea.

 

It's a great show. I posted about it here last year, but there wasn't too much interest.

People don't like brutal truth.

I enjoy the youtube episodes. Especially where the skinny hipster is drinking dirty moonshine with the people in Uganda.

 

The metal scrapping story from the last episode was very interesting to me,

 

Great show. So much stuff on their youtube channel worth watching too.

 

i caught the marathon a few weeks back before season two was going to start, it is done really well,

 

Yeah it's great. They were the ones who followed that Mcaffe guy when he was on the run in Belize.

 

I love the show, and watch it weekly... but a lot of the "reporting" is more about catching the sensational than the facts.

 

I liked the one guy who got high on Poison frog venom.

 

They've done some excellent work over the years covering North Korea.

 

Speaking of Vice, have you seen their Devil's breath documentary?

 

That whole episode is wild.

What's crazy is that a year before I watched it, my mom told me about that same drug being on the streets of Vietnam.

A must-watch. Creepy ****.

 

You just described journalism from beginning to the end.

 

The vice guy is also regularly on the Rogan podcast and he's usually wasted so, some good inside info on there.

 

Agreed. I just wanted to point out that those saying "Vice does the hard hitting stories!" are just fooling themselves. They do the stories that will garner them the most attention and make them the "bad boys" of modern journalism. They are still in it for both the fame, and the money. That doesn't make their style any less enjoyable though - just thin on both facts and contrasting opinions and stances.
