The G Word, a six-episode Netflix documentary, aims to convince Americans we need a large and powerful federal government to cure what ails us. But the stories it tells remind us that government is often a big part of our problems.
Hosted by Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything) and produced by former President Barack Obama (who appears in two episodes), The G Word tours many federal agencies the typical citizen might not think of much, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Weather Service, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
