AGENTS OF CHAOS
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Part 2 of 2. Last night’s Part 1 of Alex Gibney’s two-part Agents of Chaos documentary was an exhaustive, exhausting, ultimately depressing examination of the rise and impact of Russian “troll farms.” Last night’s installment began its narrative back in the early 2010s, when Russia sought, somewhat successfully, to spin the internal and external reactions to the attempted uprising in Ukraine. Yesterday’s two-hour installment covered events up to the 2016 election, showing all the ways the Russians infiltrated and influenced our presidential election, helping Donald Trump while hindering Hillary Clinton. Tonight, Agents of Chaos gets completely up to date – and unfortunately, there’s a lot more to cover as we approach the presidential election of 2020.
