Hulu - The Philanthropist: Myanmar - Watch the full episode now.

And that's what I liked about this episode.

He saved the girl, but at the cost of supporting a vile system, and yet... that's pretty much how things work in the world. Nothing is ever without cost or consequence. There are compromises and unpleasant truths for everyone.

I can't say it's "good" to see a show that acknowledges this, because in an ideal world, everyone would do the right thing. But it's refreshing to NOT have an easy answer in 45 minutes. It's thought-provoking to have a show that confronts the give and take that exists, and that admits everything is sunshine and puppies and Christmas.

I'm glad I gave this episode a try after the boredom of the pilot. I'll likely keep watching, too.

this episode made a nice effort at enlightening the situation but theres so much stuff that is so funny.
i think they shot this in Chinatown SF
at 25:41 he was bribing the general. oh man u have to know the exchange rate to find this hilarious. each note that he was giving the general is equivalent to like $1, in essence he bribed a GENERAL with $10.. im sure the GENERAL would buy 3 loaves of bread and a coke with that kind of riches.

we knw about the american that swam across the lake n made the situation worse.. show made a really good effort though!

You all are really taking this much to serious it is not a documentary , it's a television show meant to entertain and capture the audience attention, in light of that it is bringing public awareness to much needed topics that in general are not reported in the main stream media or are so quickly done many people just don't really get it. And to the guy who thinks a simple call to the US Embassy in Africa will guarantee medical delivery you are sadly mistaken and delusional. It's a foreign country there governments being unstable and often corrupt is part of the problem food and medical supplies don't get to where they need to go you should research or even check the Red Cross or Green Peace or any Care giving Organization for Literature on the subject.

Of course I don't believe that all voices supporting Suu Kyi should be silenced. I meant to say that in light of recent events, some discretion would be wise. Suu Kyi's trial over her alleged house arrest violation are coming to an end now, and her sentence could be announced any day now. Sadly, journalists have now been barred from the court room and the world is forced to wait with bated breath. See 8 other replies

Please try to review about the show and stay in its context. First, I'm a Burmese and I can't understand anything they are saying. Second...i'm guessing 2/3 of the "Burmese" cast are Chinese.

But most importantly, I am very please that the show letting people know about other places in the world that need our attention. Simply happy with the fact that people even know the name, Burma is a good thing and if the show can do that, I'll keep watching it.

Why do people take it so personal when someone dislikes a show they enjoy? I like this show, and am happy with that. Ben doesn't like the show. He told us his critique and that's final. It seems there are many people who just can't accept that someone else doesn't agree with them.

And why was the black and white aspect brought up again? A majority of the discussions I read on here (in which I hardly ever post) seem to mention this. Why does it matter so much? Why can't some people look past skin color?

@Bethany : Please never speak for anyone else but yourself, ever again. I for one, am not bothered by a "black" person and "white" person dating. See 21 other replies

I do not know many people who still find that offensive except a few people in their late seventies. It makes me sad to think there are people who still think that way. When I see a couple walking down the street that is exactly what I see, a couple. Not two skin colors. See 21 other replies
