Suspicious Minds (2025)

SUSPICIOUS MINDS is a docuseries/podcast mix focusing on the rise of AI and how it is affecting the way we live. The series began releasing on October 17^th and a new episode will be released every Friday.

I was not going to watch this series. As I rule, I don’t like doing series, more so when I don’t have all the episodes, so I was going to pass. However, on Monday night my must watch films for the night collapsed. Two screeners would not play, so with time to go before Monday Night Football I bumped over and decided to take a chance on something off the board.

SUSPICIOUS MINDS is really good. The two episodes that I was allowed to see each ran about 45 minutes and are jammed packed with information.  The first episode deals with AI companions and how they affect people. The second is an exploration of how technology is altering our brains. There is a lot to unpack here so it’s a series that you are going to want to revisit-I say that because I know that after I got to the middle of the second episode I realized I was going to have to rewatch the whole series once its done so I can see how all the bits tie together.

What makes SUSPICIOUS MINDS so good is that the series digs deep into the AI/technology issues. We have talking heads who aren’t reduced to sound bites really explaining things and not talking down to the audience. There are too many AI docs and series out there who aren’t deep and who end up covering the same points as every other doc. Additionally where other docs hypnotize the audience with pretty visuals, much of the series is just people talking at a microphone. It may not be the most visually exciting thing ever, but it allows the words and the ideas that they are expressing to shine, thus giving the audience a better understanding of things.

While I don’t normally review series, I will do so when one is as great as SUSPICIOUS MINDS.

Highly Recommended.
