    This documentary had only crumbs of good moments, but it was definitely hurt by the most insufferable VFX soup. When the show started to serve little bits of intriguing information, it was interrupted by a horrible robotic narrator with a fireworks of effects and constantly changing footage. A shoe and a bag of chips talking, really? I won't theorize what these former workers are as people, but the narration attempt felt 100% clear from the start; "_We worked there, now we don't, we're sorry, we are the good guys now!_". After watching, I was annoyed and had a headache. "_Buy now!_" is a completely effortless, cheap attempt in documentary, that only consisted of TikTok-videos and a few interviews. This topic is very present to everyone and everything today, but understandably really tiring to a lot of consumers already. It would be important to figure out new ways to present this theme, but unfortunately, this is only a shameful display at that.
