No individual thought process in the attendees. I don't hate the guy that planned it and I don't feel sorry for all the people who fell for it. - @Saturday, February 2, 2019 7:41 AM

Good job until last five minutes. Want to add a shot at Trump. Don't put this clusterF with him, this was liberal thing all the way. Easy to tell, they failed, over promised and under deliver. Sounds like Dems to me. Watch the one on Netflix for no biased BS. - @Friday, February 1, 2019 3:08 AM

I just watched this one. It was very good. Basically Billy has been a criminal since he was a little boy. He probably was never disciplined and was raised with no boundaries. He's a liar and a scammer and he deserves to go to jail. - @Wednesday, January 30, 2019 4:38 AM

I don't understand why he didn't just cancel the event before it happened. Like there was nothing set up lol - @Tuesday, January 29, 2019 11:13 PM

Still don’t get why they would show up to an out of nowhere Event with no proper promotions and better business plan. - @Tuesday, January 29, 2019 10:49 PM

The netflix doc. was made by the marketing team behind Fyre festival so of course they did not cover their responsibility in this mess. However, the hulu doc. paid Billy to interview him which is not good also I believe... - @Tuesday, January 29, 2019 4:05 PM

The fact that Hulu payed Billy six figures, and not donate an ounce to the bahaman workers just shows you the power of “Influence” oh the irony... - @Tuesday, January 29, 2019 6:28 AM

the fact they could not calculate the logistics before putting up the website for bookings was a clear indicator that this festival was a fraud. - @Tuesday, January 29, 2019 3:39 AM

Maybe the justice system fails us. But lets remember billy the conman and never ever give him a chance again in the future. He shows no remorse. Enough billy. - @Monday, January 28, 2019 5:45 PM

Saw the Netflix doc. Not sure I'll ever go to an overseas festival. Too many complications, too many things that can go wrong. - @Monday, January 28, 2019 4:04 PM

Had to look up this trailer after watching the Netflix doc. As curious as I am about how the Hulu version compares, I cannot in good conscience watch it knowing they paid Billy McFarland 6 figures (yes, in the hundred thousands) for his interview. I even feel guilty that Hulu will be earning Adsense money off of my Youtube view. I implore you to watch the Netflix one before you make your own decision to understand why I feel sickened to the stomach even thinking about Hulu's stoking of the fire in this entire situation. McFarland is the least deserving person of $100k+ in this whole fiasco, when there are local Bahamian laborers, contractors, former Fyre employees (who weren't involved in developing the festival, just the app), investors, and concert attendees who were completely scammed and STILL almost 2 years later, remain unpaid for the literal blood, sweat, and tears that went into all this. Hulu did not interview McFarland out of journalistic faith; they did it for the exclusivity, knowing their documentary featuring the fraudster himself would rake in the big bucks. His perspective is tempting, yes, but there is nothing virtuous about Hulu's decision to pay him money he absolutely does not deserve. Hulu has not released this documentary with good intentions, but rather to gain as much ad revenue as possible, essentially—and outdo its competitor, Netflix. - @Monday, January 28, 2019 8:27 AM

A nonsense product sold by nonsense means to an audience that thrives on nonsense. People were ripped off? Well... yeah. - @Monday, January 28, 2019 5:59 AM

"I sold everything I own just to go to this". Well, I guess you deserved it. - @Sunday, January 27, 2019 9:51 PM

OdetteAndOdile

Why would you sell anything you own to go to a festival :/ No shade, I just feel really bad. You can laugh at spoilt rich kids having a bad time, but it was a lot of money that went to waste in a time where there is a LOT of poverty and world hunger is at a new low. - @Sunday, January 27, 2019 3:10 PM

Billy Macfarland looks like Seth Macfarlane. Also I'm pretty sure the guy from video creators is in the background of one of Billy's parties near the start of the documentary. - @Sunday, January 27, 2019 12:02 PM

If you sold everything that you own to go to a music festival you probably deserved the outcome. Priorities man - @Sunday, January 27, 2019 9:34 AM

Audriano Gotyè Jr.

Dear Hulu, I used to be a subscriber to your Channel until you came out with a biased documentary. Attempting to normalize the actions of Billy McFarland while he embezzled funds from the many individuals he victimized with a fraudulent event is grotesque. I understand getting Billy's side of the story in this entire circumstance, but the way that you produce this video paints Billy in a much forgiving light nonsensicaly. Instead of pathetically attempting to get Billy into our good graces, why not focus on the many people whose life he ruined, such as a locals in the Bahamas? You disgust me. - @Sunday, January 27, 2019 9:17 AM
