Having watched all three episodes I'm not much more enlightened about the whole Q movement/phenomenon/organisation/something than I was before I began.
What do they actually want? What are they trying to achieve?
The documentary itself fails in its primary duty; to walk the viewer who is not fully aware of the subject carefully through the various details so one can be better informed and arrive at an opinion.
The quick-cut, MTV style editing of this particular series does not help in the least. As a hearing impaired viewer I must depend on subtitles but even they could not keep up with the machine gun editing and I was left reading a conversation that had long since been moved on from.
By the last episode the documentary makers themselves are so worn out by all this they can barely contain their exasperation, leaking out on camera and in the voiceovers. I was left with the feeling they had bitten off more than they could chew.
I suppose I did learn enough about Q anon to know that it is populated by some very angry, sometimes violent, true believers. Although they seem to have wilfully turned off their critical thinking faculties and have little or no regard for libel laws, they seem more clear on what they don't want than what they do and the whole 'we are woke and you are sleeping sheep' seems very seductive to a certain type of character.
Although often sniffed at as conspiracy kooks or tinfoil hat crackpots, it would seem to me that you would dismiss or ignore them at your peril.
There is a much better, more informative and more interesting documentary to be made on this though of that I'm sure. I doubt the final chapter has been written on this by a long way yet.
