This was like watching a train wreck or eating too much candy. I wanted to stop, but couldn't.
Having Marco Mouly as the narrator - feeding into his already MASSIVE ego was a MASSIVE mistake. It cost at least 3 stars. He is not nearly as entertaining as he thinks he is. The farcical faces he makes makes a mockery of the damage he created in the EU and the money he stole from the people and projects the money would have been used for - rather than the obscene parties, cars and clothes. He's always very pleased with himself - and the more pleased he became, the sleazier he got.
Am thrilled this is over.
I can't say don't watch it - just make sure you have time for a shower afterwards if you do.

Who Wants to be Screamed at for Nearly 2 Hours?
I'm a documentary junkie... but I couldn't handle it any longer after 20min of this. Mardoche Mouly is so obnoxious I would literally pay some money to not hear him talk.
In terms of production, it's the same problem that plagues many docus - style over substance. Sleek neons and captivating montages, but no real attempts to explain how the VAT was defrauded, it's just mindless repetitions of how they siphoned it off. How? Why there's such a loophole? Why has it managed to be exploited in various forms over the years? What's the point of having experts appear on the show if their value is just entertainment?
Great time
Had a great time watching this. The documentary is well done and very catchy. Marco Mouly's storytelling is just perfect and amusing in its own way. Every person in this documentary is a character on his own and i love that.
