Netflix I lost my Uncle in that Tragedy. How COULD you! Sorry EricMcCormack I know it was not YOUR Decision, but I will NEVER watch that show again!

OMG!

Omg that is not right

Was it too much trouble for them to mock up some footage themselves?

Is it about a planet that doesn't believe in the transporatation of resources in a pipeline?

This is shameful.

There has got to be a million movies that cut in real-life footage from WW2.. soon after the war. Snowflake society.

Tacky. Hire a graphic designer for God's sake, Netflix.

As long as no victims are shown I don't think there's anything wrong with this.

Also please report in which show will the disaster, that is Trudeau government, be shown?
