Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidinfluencing (Netflix)

The latest Netflix docuseries takes a look at kid influencers and the adults who get rich off of them.  The first two episodes were a disturbing portrait of manipulation and exploitation.  The third episode got bogged down with politics, with Taylor Lorenz demanding that the social media be regulated and various politicians making an unwelcome appearance.  The problem with the third episode is that it often felt as staged as the youtube videos that dominated the first two episodes.  That said, overall, this was a sobering call for parents to be a bit smarter about keeping track of what’s going on with their children, especially when it comes to their online lives.

I watched an episode of this 90s, celebrity-driven game show on Friday night.  Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa were the hosts.  Dweezil was the epitome of cool while Ahmet kind of needed to calm down a little.
