I hope people aren't seriously basing their political opinions off documentaries

but I'm sure people do base their opinions off whatever appeals to their logic and emotions, in whatever medium it comes in

Unless it's "The Wire", which should be required viewing for any voter.

I was quite into John Oliver for a few episodes, and then I started to realize how heavily he twists things to make them into a good show. It's still entertaining now, but I don't consider it a source of "news" at all now.

Not totally relevant, but Better Call Saul isn't produced by Netflix, it just airs there outside the US.
