As has been said elsewhere it is way longer than it needed to be. Then again so was Bitter Lake and that seems a much better film after a second viewing.
Just watched Bitter Lake again and I think I agree - found Bitter Lake more informative than Hypernormalisation but that may be being unfair to Adam Curtis as the scope of the former is primarily one country whereas the latter tries to cover "everything". I bloody love this man's work though, oddly gripping and although overlong they always have a very cogent central point (even if he takes you on a trip to get there). Anyway, yes, Bitter Lake is great the second time round.
