The Amazon Original Series draws from unprecedented access to more than 17,000

|
hours of footage and over 2,600 scrapbooks from Hefner's personal archives,
|
||
|

chronicling the life of an American icon and the history of the brand he

|
<p>A series about Hugh Hefner, creator of the "Playboy" magazine. And, more than
|
||
|
|
than, a series <em>for</em> Hugh Hefner.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One sided documentary/docuseries is not something new, but I can remember
|
||
|
|
something so blatantly for the subject like this before.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Oh sure, Hefner came with an idea for a entering-adulthood-male magazine and
|
||
|
|
managed to interview some important personalities, give tips on wines and music
|
||
|
|
and clothing. And have naked women on them.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But, oh look, Playboy interviews Malcolm X, look like progressive they are! Oh,
|
||
|
|
look, they are showing a black woman naked on their pages! Oh, look, Penthouse
|
||
|
|
shows up, showing more risqué content, but Playboy won't do that with their
|
||
|
|
women, 'cause they are not about this. Oh no, poor Hefner is being attacked by
|
||
|
|
feminists for showing women as objects, and he can't understand, 'cause he
|
||
|
|
feels he's liberating and empowering them!</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>(Although I reckon feminists are right on this one, one can't stop thinking how
|
||
|
|
Playboy also treated men as objects: buy this, drink that, listen to this;
|
||
|
|
otherwise, you're not cool. Not in the same proportion, I understand, but
|
||
|
|
still...)</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Oh, and Hefner? Focused on his business and not his (first) family, but that's
|
||
|
|
a problem with the way he was raised, not his. Oh, bad things, Hefner divorce,
|
||
|
|
but they are still friends. But fret not, one model caught his eyes and BLAM!
|
||
|
|
Love at the first sight! But it didn't last. Poor Hefner. But oh look, another
|
||
|
|
model! Another love at first sight! They are really meant to be together.
|
||
|
|
Except they don't 'cause she turned singer and he went to have afairs. How can
|
||
|
|
Hefner be happy if there isn't a woman near him? But don't be sad, they are
|
||
|
|
still friends. ANOTHER model caught his eye! They immediately fall in love. And
|
||
|
|
it lasts till they divorce, but hey, there are still friends! Another model!
|
||
|
|
(Rinse, repeat).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The love life of Hefner is one of the things that made me really pissed. He
|
||
|
|
openly admits he can't be alone, his affairs are sidelined, ex-wifes always say
|
||
|
|
he's so loving, just <em>one</em> admits she didn't like that he wanted an open
|
||
|
|
marriage for him and not for her and one you can clearly see that she does not
|
||
|
|
want to have Hef around, looks annoyed in the filming, but the narration said
|
||
|
|
they divorced and are "friends".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This is the kind of thing that push a documentary down. There are no downsides
|
||
|
|
of Hefner: He's loving, he's successful and he got ideas. Things he did wrong?
|
||
|
|
No, no things wrong, he's perfect!</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The series is interesting around the initial episodes, showing the steps in the
|
||
|
|
creation of the Playboy magazine. But then it gets into this "social aspect" of
|
||
|
|
the magazine, and doesn't pip a thing about Hefner affairs, and it gets
|
||
|
|
annoying as fuck.</p>
