7/10
Worth watching for episode 3 alone
21 April 2024
Episodes 1,2 & 4 were essentially a bunch of people complaining that Dan Schneider was a bad boss. I'm sure it's very probable that he was, and there were many cringeworthy things that he did. This sort of thing goes on in all types workplaces and it would be great if something would be done about it. It's presented in a way, however, that what went on was exceptional - this is what bugged me. We have all heard stories about the rampant abuse in Hollywood. I was expecting some sort of exposé of this. It's almost as if this documentary was thrown out there to cover up what really goes on in Hollywood - ie 'outside of Harvey Weinstein, this is the worst we have uncovered'

The standout episode was episode 3. It was truly heartbreaking. Drake Bell was very brave to sit in front of the camera and talk about what happened to him. This is what someone telling the truth looks like. Watching his father crying over not being able to protect his son brought me to tears. I'm sure this type of thing has gone on in Hollywood for many decades, which is moreso what I was anticipating this documentary to uncover.

I rate Quiet on Set overall as a 7 - for episode 3 alone (which deserves a 10)
