Happily for film-makers, online investment is a treasure trove of colourful characters. ... It doesn’t bloat but barrels along, with the whole series coming in at under two hours. Did I fully understand the financial ins and outs? Nope. Did I enjoy the ride anyway? Heck yes. Consider me invested.
Through an entertaining mix of interviews with hedge fund managers, journalists and retail investors who explain the phenomenon from different sides, augmented by a steady stream of clear and concise graphics and clips of often hilariously clever viral videos, “Eat the Rich” walks us through the madness of the GameStop story, and we come out on the other side understanding what happened.
Part investing lesson, part cautionary tale, “Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga” has some wild characters for a documentary series about the short selling of stocks, which means it should not bore the uninitiated. And if you’re not careful, you just might learn something too.
If you followed the GameStop story or saw GameStopped, the information in Eat The Rich: The GameStop Saga will probably be familiar to you. But it’s presented in an entertaining way and also has a more complete picture of the stock’s ups and downs.
The best part of Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga is that it manages to tell a complicated financial story with a fair amount of humor and context, in a way that doesn’t demonize the various parties, which doesn’t spare them from various levels of mockery. The result is a Netflix docuseries that, despite a few excesses, exposes the more ridiculous aspects of stock trading and where all that paper can come to resemble a house of cards.
