Bill Maher's new tv show, Vice...it is a must see.

[dixiegrrrrl]

He talked last night of his producing the HBO show Vice, which follows Real Time....
and I am watching the first show.

It covers what running for office means in the Phillipines and is

edited to add: It is a news magazine, with various topics per show.
The 2nd part after the Phillipines is about the new, and quite chilling methods the Taliban is using in Afghanistan.
Very edgy show.


Must see....highly highly recommend.

Anyone else here watched it???

2. I didn't know about this. I will definitely set my DVR.

And I watch Real Time every week, I must have missed that one!

3. I watched it tonight

Very well done.....and scary as hell. The young suicide bombers shows more then anything, the absolute need for public secular education.

The reporter who met with the Taliban leader, WOW, that is some real courage.

5. Thanks for the public review.

I have been a Maher fan, off and on, over the years. I hope his show produces some shocking reporting, please do not turn into 60 minutes. Peace.

7. Fear not...

I don't think Maher would ever produce "just another" ty type magazine.
This first show is very mesmerizing.

the reporters are cutting edge... and unafraid of going after both sides of the story...

Very eye-opening reporting...

Very good show..!!

11. I used to read Vice all the time when I was younger. The show seems very informative.

13. I watched it and I was shocked and amazed.

It was incredible.

They mentioned in the beginning of the first segment that the Philippines has fashioned their constitution after ours -- Scary to think about, ya know?

and then the segment about the Taliban freaked me out -- Those young children.

I don't want to be a spoiler about it for anyone, but holy moly what an eye opener!
