Not the biggest Arnold fan but gotta admire the guys determination! Finished episode one today which focused on his early life as a bodybuilder. Nothing too insightful but definitely entertaining.

Much like the Sly Stallone show I saw a clip off, which was him and Pacino talking about how to take pictures with a cellphone, I don't think "Arnold smokes cigar while praising himself" will be for me either.

I barely have anything else to compare this with but in all honesty it hardly felt this way. Overall a pretty shallow but entertaining three part series. With some really humbling and touching moments.

Like I said initially not a fan of Arnold but credit where credit is due!

Glad you liked it!

I think the multiple accounts of people in the service industry mentioning Arnie as "The worst customer I ever dealt with" might have made me less inclined to engage with this content as well. And of course the 2003 accusations he first denied then said "sorry it was bad" a long time after. I realize not watching content with people that have done shitty things will essentially leave every bluray shelf and netflix que empty. But I mean, I'll watch Terminator 2 on an old dusty DVD, but a series about how he is kinda GOATed in 2023 is not for me.   

Please don't misunderstand, this is not me passing judgement on you or anyone that watches and enjoys this, just my thoughts on this whole thing.

I enjoyed it and liked how Arnie owned up to things but him groping women and still winning an election is so weird.

His success story is pretty amazing but it was an overly long series (like with most NF docs).

I find the whole cigar smoking thing cringe. Not just him but anyone doing it.
