Dirty Money (2018). This show is similar to American Greed.
So far, it is only scratching the surface of the corruption issue, but with the careful way it approaches the subject matter, I think it can go a long way.

Season One:1. WV Emmissions fraud, 2. Predatory Lending, 3. Big Pharma price gauging, 4. HSCB Money Laundering, 5. Maple Syrup Trade Wars, 6. Trump as a Con Man.
I think most people are already aware of these scams, but it’s interesting to hear from both sides of the argument as well, and from some of the actual people involved.
The pro legal exploitation side of episode 2 (Payday Loan Sharks) reminded me of the pro-sweat shop arguments made by exploiting companies. Legal, yes, but moral? I thought that the humanizing juxtaposition of these hated “businessmen” in the middle of the big looming moral question was pretty subtle and crafty.
(And I doubt anyone actually fell for it).
