The accusations against Combs are serious and deserve a more thoughtful analysis than what’s on offer...

Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy can be recommended to watch only for some of the revealing interviews and previously unreleased footage. However, the tabloid-ish format lowers the quality of this documentary, which needed more cohesive timeline editing.

This unwieldy new Peacock documentary lays out much of the case against the disgraced impresario- and throws in a bunch of other nonsense as well.

Worth a watch, but some parts something was indirectly said or used slang and I felt lost after rewinding it multiple times. I can't be the only one. But overall, well done. Obviously multiple seasons could be done going into more details and situations. Diddy called it shameful, and he's right. Shameful behavior and it was time to put some of these stories together.

I feel like this could have been more in depth, this really did not explain anything of his crimes. This was more focused on his rise to fame and about his backstory.

It was okay. It started off good with the recap of childhood with Tim Patterson, but turned into the same sensational crap that’s produced by people magazine. Not real and bs. Better docs on YouTube. But so far better than the garbage on max.

Hardly any new information than what you can find from a fast Google search. With all of this in court still, too soon for anyone to really “talk” about what went on. This director has good ideas, but terrible execution. Another disappointment like the Nickelodeon documentary….
