I absolutely love John and his format. Despite the comedic atmosphere he has done some very good long form journalism in bringing issues to life.
But I just can't watch it these days. It is just too fucking depressing. We have a whole stack of them in our DVR since the election in 2024 and have just not been able to bring ourselves to watch them.

Jon Oliver is hilarious and has great research. TDS is flat out hilarious.
