I went into this like I do with drinks (be it tea, or beer); I had a thirst and wanted it quenched. Murdoch owns the vast majority of newspapers (over 80%) in my country, but little is known about him and his family or how they run their business. But this was like drinking a weak tea or beer - it partially quenched my thirst, but left me frustrated and wanting more. At times the series was eye opening. I did not know that he had a Daughter (James and Lachlan have always been in the public eye here) or that he was challenged in court by Max Mosley. The first episode felt like there was not enough info to fill up the scheduled runtime - there was long pauses that you don't usually get in most modern documentaries and the graphics on the genogram they used to describe connections moved so slowly, I was wanting to wring something. And at times it felt like I was watching a melodrama - not a good thing for information this important. The other 2 episodes improved on this slightly - there was more content, but the melodrama continued to roll out slowly. People being interviewed (except for a select few) seemed to have to choose their words carefully - a sign of the fear that they have about Murdoch. And the narration throughout the series was dispassionate and detached. This felt like a missed opportunity. There is so much information out there and so many people who could have been contacted that they could have discussed how Murdoch runs his businesses (which they seem to have only partially covered here). And also how it works on the ground with reporters and other staff talking about the pressure and ethical dilemmas of working for his company (esp with the phone hacking scandals and his non-partisan "reporting"). Overall, I was left wondering what others would have done with this opportunity and whether we would have had a more "fearless" documentary if another had helmed it or if there was pressures from the BBC or producers not to rock the boat. This was a bit underwhelming, but still important viewing. Watch this with Outfoxed and the Loudest Voice to get a better picture of how he runs his business (even though the latter downplays Rupert's role).
