Everything had the sheen of like Lisa Vanderpump's house.

Everything feels very glossy and soft focused in a way that's very flattering.

And that is the overall impression that I got from this entire affair.

Which, you know, is not exactly the thing I think that comes to mind when people think about documentary and kind of this unvarnished, you know, perspective on someone's life or a certain event.

Yes.

Yeah.

Alison, you chose the word airless.

What scene really captures why that word fits for you?

It reminded me of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Glam has arrived before the cameras did in every sense.

That's such a good point.

It makes me think about how like documentaries are often made, right?

And maybe perhaps how differently this one may have been made.

Very often documentaries are

The result of film crews spending long periods of time with the subject.

And so very often when you think about how a moment like a news story like that would unfold in a documentary, typically it's like you're already with the subject.

And then you're there to capture this reaction to this horrible news and get some sort of response, emotional response.

And...

it made me wonder like, okay, how much were you guys really with her for this 20 day period?

If these wildfires were unfolding for days, right?
