Catch up reviews: TRAINWRECK: AMERICAN APPAREL, AMERICAN MANHUNT OSAMA BIN LADEN and AMERICAN MANHUNT OJ SIMPSON

TRAINWRECK: AMERICAN APPAREL 
A shallow look at the rise and implosion of the apparel brand. 

As with many of the films/ episodes of the series it is lacking a depth of details that is completely surprising for a network show. There is enough detail for 20 minute You Tube video. Actually I think many You Tube Videos would have been more detailed in less time.

A miss. 

AMERICAN MANHUNT BIN LADEN
Netflix look at the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

This is good but slightly dumbed down and self congratulatory look at search for Bin Laden after the 911 attacks.  Yes there is a lot of good information here but it's offset by some of the interviewees attitude macho attitude toward the hunt. ("They thought they could not tell us anything but they were wrong" spoken in the most condescending tones)

I liked it but wish it was much less jingoistic.

AMERICAN MANHUNT OJ SIMPSON
A look at OJ Simpson case from the people who put it together.

One of the better OJ docs is a more nuts and bolts look at what happened via the evidence and the the people who collected it. While the series perhaps suffers from not having a slightly wider view of everything, I found I liked the closer to the ground take the series gave us.

Worth a look.
