It’s an understatement to say this exhaustive and, at times, deeply disturbing docuseries lands clearly on the side of “devil,” as we hear one former Playmate or Playboy employee after another recount stories.
The Playboy mystique and Hugh Hefner's legacy receive a serious debunking in "Secrets of Playboy," a 10-part A&E network docuseries that explores the dark side of the lifestyle Hefner sought to embody. Somewhat bloated in its format, there are plenty of disturbing revelations scattered here for those with the patience to reach them.
Secrets Of Playboy does go into aspects of Hugh Hefner and his empire that people may not have heard before if they’re not following people like Madison closely. We just wonder if the revelations will start becoming repetitive or less shocking as the series examines each part of Hefner’s life and the brand he started.
Separating truth from fiction can sometimes be difficult in Secrets of Playboy, which freely blends concrete proof and conjecture. On the whole, though, the docuseries unearths an overwhelming amount of rottenness.
