All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

Big ideas. At some point though, I began to feel that the narrator is manipulating information to conform to his conclusions.

Like other reviewers I feel that Curtis failed to tie all the events described in All Watched Over by Machines into a coherent hole.The documentary argues that ideological beliefs have a significant impact on historical and political outcomes, but looks like money has had a greater impact on historical events described than any set of ideological beliefs political influence and influential scientists may have ever had.

This miniseries claims to be about machines and how our use of them and misinterpretation of them has not led to the positive results we'd expected.And of course this is true.

Adam Curtis' recent documentary series disappointed some. Compared to his work on The Century Of The Self and The Power Of Nightmares, it seemed hodge podge, lacking a central framework idea and bouncing all over the place.

I generally watch documentaries based upon the topic or theme e.g.
