Dark Side of the '90s (2021)

Every decade has had it’s bad / good. But I can no say at no time has it been a utopia. It’s just unless you sought out to be more informed you wouldn’t neccessarily hear what was going on. I recall listening to the BBC world service on CBC radio Canada to hear about conflicts in the world.

I admit I wasn’t well-informed and that there were surely other things going on. But this is an American 90s show. Not a lot of dark things happened in America in the 90s, or at least not as you say to my knowledge. I stand by my people’s rose coloured glasses being broken after 9/11. There was a lot that happened then but the internet wasn’t big enough and the news media wasn’t as big as they are so you just didn’t know about it like you can now. Also, this series doesn’t hold back. It’s Vice and their wrestling ones are pretty real, so if there were bigger, juicier issues, I’m sure they’d have done those instead.
