First, wow. Michael Gross is quite the bitter little man- his disdain and vitriol is prurient for anyone who dares aspire to anything above his miserable existence. Having contrary opinions is normally understandable, but this guy brings absolutely nothing to the discussion other than what seems to be nothing more than unmitigated jealousy. What a cloying person to bring into this discussion, Peter Berg. Friend of yours? He seems nice.
That being said- Everyone seems to be an expert of Epstein after he's been caught, but absolutely no one was sounding a single alarm regarding his actions and/or behaviors- to pretend otherwise is disingenuous and a flat out lie.
I'm not sure which is more annoying and transparent- these 'journalists' feigning righteous indignation over the fashion shows or the thought professors opining their obvious knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein, yet you never heard a single word from any of these people.
Like it or not, the shows were largely successful and to suggest some insane feminine outrage is nothing more than jealousy in knowing these slugs would never be in the same league as the models featured. Beautiful women showcasing the lingerie was a genius idea that elevated the brand, and paid the models beyond their wildest dreams. It sold the garments, but more importantly, sold the brand to the general public. So of course the mob came for them. I never once watched the shows, but they were wildly popular and for good reason. If people were gullible enough to be taken in by frauds and scams, that's on them.
Epstein on the other hand is an entirely different story- I'm still somewhat intrigued by the connection there. I've often wondered if there was a sinister plot afoot by Jeffrey, and if he held something over Mr. Wexner, but given that we're still not seeing any of the hundreds of miles of footage taken into possession of the federal government, I doubt we'll ever know. There's conspiracy theories abounding that this footage contains vast amounts of information regarding high level officials in our own government and that of those from around the world, so we likely never see or hear anything regarding this. In this age of so many theories that were once thought to be wildly unlikely, somehow being meted out as factually accurate, I'm sure there's at least some truth to the accusations.
There's nothing of substance remotely discussed in the fledgling episode- only somewhat teased at the end of this. There's quite a bit of speculation and accusations by some bitter, a fry people, but nothing other than the infancy of Ltd., how Les Wexner got started, and where it went from there. Of course there's the angry little man previously mentioned who is required to slam Trump (by Hollywood standards, I guess) and those of a higher income margin, but not much more than that.
If there's more to this series, I'm not holding out hope- it seems so far to be nothing but accusations and guesses, but without Wexner offering insight, and not much from anyone else higher in the food chain of The Ltd, it's incredibly doubtful we see much more than what's already happening.
Watch if you must- I'm sure men will just for the stunning women, but if you're watching for information, you'll be left with as much for your brain as the lingerie covers on the body- very little of substance, but looks good on its face.
Very meh.
