This felt like buzzfeed journos lobbing softballs at the subject when they should have been throwing fastballs straight at the heart of it. (Continuing with the baseball analogies) they were playing with the 2nd, 3rd & 4the string players! Where were the heavy hitters? Besides Drake it felt like they talked to a lot of people who weren't even on set or who didn't experience anything except being worked hard and feeling uncomfortable now and then. Where was Amanda? Jaime Lynne? The cast of Icarly that they claimed was the worst in terms of abuse? Instead we get the annoying Producer Kate interjecting herself into the narrative at every opportunity. Also it gave us nothing new and verifiable (again except for Drake, that was very brave of him) most of the things they discuss have been circulating on twitter or elsewhere for years. We all KNOW Dan is a creep with a proclivity to make really inappropriate jokes for kids tv and is an all around disgusting human.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this came out and it's shedding more light on the dark side of kiddywood and I'm so grateful to all the courageous people who've come forward, my poor review isn't for them it's for the people who made this documentary. It could have been so much more but to me it felt like a very, very soft and safe production.
