Hadn't heard of it before but Broken looks like an okay series. Only 6.8/10 with 679 votes on IMDb - usually with a low number of votes the votes are higher due to being friends and family of the production before the average drops dramatically - but that's my generalization for movies, not documentaries. I also find that TV shows usually get higher averages than movies - likely due to the fact that people who like TV shows keep watching them, unlike movies which are more hit or miss with viewers. I look forward to your Broken review, but it looks like one for lower on the list, if ever. I'm aware of those depressing issues, but not in detail - and I'm not sure how much I'd gain from learning more about them. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the broad strokes - and trying to make my own little difference too, though I need some serious focus.

As for Trial By Media, we can start sooner or later, at your leisure. I have no critical schedule. I may or may not be compelled to binge part or all of it, so I may either leap ahead or fall behind - unless we come up with a plan, such as one per night over however long. However, that seems like unnecessary OCD overkill. If this goes well it might be apt for something grander, though I have nothing in mind.

Yes, IMO Rotten is way better than Broken. I guess that's a preview of my inevitable review haha.

Same producers according to the trailer. I wonder if they were cast-off episodes not worthy of being in the series, yet not a write-off with some different adjustments, editing, music, filler, rebranding, intro, etc.

Oh really? I did not realise that - funny though because after a couple of episodes I thought it kinda coulda slotted in amongst the Rotten episodes quite nicely.
