The documentary “Unique” is available to subscribers of the Discovery+ streaming service.
It was made partly before and partly after Donald Trump’s defeat for the US Presidency and the ensuing acts of violence (the invasion of the Capitol by brainless coup plotters).
little criticism
The British series, which aired last month, consists of three parts and offers a statement of facts rather than a critical view of what happened.
On the plus side, the makers had unprecedented access to the entire Trump family (no pun intended). Curiously, the former president’s wife, Melania, looks the least.
But even this benefit of “free passage” was eroded by the “walking on eggshells” of production.
much praise
Few relevant or precise questions are asked of the former “Apprentice” landlord himself or his children.
In the opinion of this columnist, there is still an exaggerated amount of “witnesses” talking about the qualities of the main character. “Witnesses” are almost all relatives, friends or fans.
Trump is stubborn, loyal to his “opinions”, hardworking, enterprising, warrior, invincible, etc. is defined as. etc.
The episodes don’t even open up the question about the origins of such “beliefs” of Trump. The main character’s offensive guru, Steve Bannon, pardoned for his crimes by presidential mercy, is not even in the limelight.
Missing continue
One thing’s for sure: there should be an “unprecedented” sequel. Preferably less condescending and more journalistic and realistic.
The timing of Discovery+’s launch was also interesting: it coincided with the moment when new allegations and startling facts from investigations by the Attorney General and the FBI spread to other inappropriate and possibly criminal conduct by Trump while in office.
To use a shabby-fashioned term, we now need to illustrate the correct “narrative”: Donald Trump urged his insane followers to leave the Capitol after only five deaths, and seeing that all his maneuvers were done to strike a blow in the country. considered the pillar of democracy.
Now it is necessary to show the emergence of all this in new chapters. New investigations, evidence and accusations against the emergence of the dictator who did not accept democratic defeat in the elections and tried to mount a civil revolt against the result.
We’ve all been warned: Any similarity here will not be just a coincidence.
