Really confused by the different direction for the third episode. It's completely out of sync from the previous episodes, retracing ground we've already covered, and introducing new folks instead of keeping with the stories we've been following. Feels like episodes 1 'amp; 2 abruptly end, and episode 3 is an entirely separate documentary. Spike Lee 'amp; his ego or sumn?
The infamous third episode was the best because it has a very direct, powerful style (Spike Lee's). The other two felt like the average documentary that you see every month on Netflix.
while i appreciated all 3 episodes, the 3rd does seem to be a separate documentary than the first two episodes.
