I expect the comments on this to be reasoned and fair.

Regardless of politics... no thanks.

 

[countryside]

Lol. Will Chelsea have her friend Ghislaine Maxwell on the show? I mean, she had her at the wedding.

 

[rgbrock1]

By the gutsy woman who landed under sniper fire in Bosnia.

That's gonna be a hard no for me.

HAHA. Let the eyerolls commence!

WHY?!?!? Why does Apple squander goodwill with crapola like this. The social justice shows are absolutely irritating. I refer to Oprah's shows, this, and Hala mainly. Apple has 95% good shows that don't have an irritating agenda, and then you get a show like this.

Hulu especially has this problem since Disney does not know what to fill in it as they also run Disney+.

Hopefully next they give the Chinese ruler a nice little docuseries as well. Who is next?

 

[BF1M]

Chelsea Clinton, my first crush.

Yeah, I'm done with Hulu and Netflix. I'm subscribed to Apple TV+ (because everything [besides a few docu-series like this with agendas] is absolutely top notch), HBO Max (movies day and date going forward? Yes pls., Amazon Prime (Boys, Truth Seekers, and a bunch of other solid shows), and Disney+ for Mando/Marvel.

 

[xnsys]

I might learn something - how to hang someone and get away with it..

As a Democrat, I think it's time we heard less from the Clintons and moved on, same way I hope we never hear from Trump again.

So then maybe don't watch it?

I don't like that Apple is polluting the quality level of TV+ with this drivel. I don't want to have to see its ad when I login.

It also induces a gag reflex that Apple is teaming up with people of such low caliber.

I think show will be scraped... Tide is turning on Chelsea... Chelsea Clinton hung out with Ghislaine Maxwell 'for access to yachts & homes' & Bill 'visited Epstein's private island'.

Agreed. Love Apple TV+ content so far... minus the political stuff.

Actually, Boys State was plenty political, but was excellent and even-handed I thought. Didn't try to push an agenda.

You seem rather sensitive. You do realize there are other people who don't share your opinion and they pay their subscription fee the same as you do.

History will be very kind to HRC.

 

[ProVideo]

I doubt anyone is going to sign up for AppleTV+ for this, but I think it will likely lead to people cancelling or not signing up. 99% of the right hate her and a decent amount of those on the left do as well.

Good point.

 

[Mansu944]

Why? Honestly why? Aren't the women in the slave labor camps a little more gutsy?

 

[retta283]

You mean Winnie the Poo? I am probably banned from traveling to China now.

I probably was blacklisted years ago... I've had sharp criticisms of Chinese government going back to the late 70s. I get sent straight to the cavity search when arriving on plane anyway because of some of the places I've been.

To every poster who has a negative reflex reaction to anything linked to Hillary Clinton, please just take some time to digest the list of people this series is likely to tell stories of:

• Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
• Helen Keller
• Maria Von Trapp
• Mary Ritter Beard
• Harriet Tubman
• Edith Windsor
• Anne Frank
• Ada Lovelace
• Marie Curie
• Sally Ride
• Clara Barton
• Eleanor Roosevelt
• Malala Yousafzai

and think of a good reason those stories don’t deserve even wider recognition by audiences all over Earth.
