Surprised By Low Ratings
Some reviewers shouldn't be leaving them if they didn't bother to watch the whole thing. I remember when Von Dutch blew up as a kid so maybe that's why I enjoyed it but it was still an interesting story. Shows the many sides of a business and how ruthless it can be. It's only 3 episodes so it's not a long ride but I enjoyed it.
SweeZ.

Heartbreaking and halarious ride through LA culture!
Awesome. Hadn't had this much fun watching a doc since tiger king. Loved the pacing and glad they went down a mini rabbit hole with everyone involved. Wild story and I very surprised how much I felt for the characters by the end. Did a great job showing all sides of the story and treated everyone with respect. Loved it!

Entirely too long
This could've been a 2 hour show. Dragged out and boring dialogue for nothing. It's an interesting story but SHEESH! Maybe they made more money by making its this long.

All the ppl that rated this low admit they didn't have the patience or IQ to make it through 3 episodes.
Never knew much about this brand but the story if true is a bit crazy
Interesting story, not sure how much of it is trumped up and exaggerated for the series, but an interesting watch regardless.
7.3.

Marginally interesting story, a little sensationalized by the characters that got out done by business men.
Well I don't agree that this could have done been done in a half hour, I do agree they probably could have cut this in half, maybe an hour and a half. It's an okay story about a brand that ended up making millions for a short time, and as fast it became popular, it fizzled into nothing.
This is a classic story where no name non-business people get out done by people that know how to make a buck. Then the people claiming that they got screwed by the businessmen, essentially screwed themselves by not being smart enough to navigate the business side of a great idea.
I don't blame the dude who made millions, the guys who started the brand simply made poor decisions and never executed on what they had. The story was sensationalized a bit but worth a watch.

A lovely blend of fate, privilege and politics
If you can't see everything I noted in the headline of this review, you need to get out more. Tells the story of fate, butterfly affect, the privileged, the underserved and how the two world's collide. It hopefully raises awareness and curiosity of unconventional creators vs. Conventional capitalists while maintaining the human element of all the key players.

Not interesting enough for 3 hours
This whole story could have been told in probably 30 minutes and it might have been interesting, but it's dragged out over 3 hours with mostly interviews of stupid people telling boring stories irrelevant to the storyline. It's a desperate attempt to make an interesting story out of something not that interesting.

Wow
How the producers managed to find every single illiterate, drugged-out, moronic, idiot that supposedly were creators of VD is no small feat.
The whole first episode is straight garbage- don't waste your time.

Some True Crime Shows
Can be very boring when you stretch the story out to make a mini series out of it, especially when ALL the characters are so unlikeable. Stopped watching after one episode.

Ehhh
The documentary was good. The story was good. The person who ruined everything was Bobby. He is a terrible story teller. It was like listening to a 6th grader. He speaks like he's 10. There was no eloquence to his stories and it was just horrible. Other than that the show was good. Learned a lot about the brand.
Tried this because LulaRich was good..
I thought it would be interesting. It's not. 15 minutes in and there are just constant jump-cuts, super slow introductions of people as if these filmmakers expected the audience to be on the edge of our seats, and someone working on this movie just wanting to showcase their music library. The music is nonstop. If that's not bad enough, now they are showing someone smoke their drugs. No thanks.

Stoopid!
The saddest people on earth in one documentary. One dude actually admits to almost killing a CHP Officer. Scumbag-o-vision. Just take a hard pass. Ugh!@
Haven't watched it, but...
