I'm talking about interesting stuff worth watching, in this case also written by Elmore Leonard, also related to the original film upon which the series was based. My contribution can be read by anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that you can right what was wrong by putting the 15th Century Queen of England as a Chinese or Black woman---Just seems to provoke more anti feeling then acceptance. My Problem with Movies / TV is not that most of them are Too "Woke" ”, but that they are faux-progressive dumbed-down non-offending political-over-correct instead. It seems I am being feed with a host of Comic book charterers I read about as a kid-- or just guys/girls that wander into a room of 8-10 highly trained body guards and take them all out with their tooth pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. If the movie or TV show is set in the present, than a mish mash of genders, colors, etc is to be expected. Even if it is a far fetched as a journey to Pluto. "Lets not offend anybody" just offends everybody. But in a historical drama - stick to the facts. Were there any members of the nobility in England that were "people of color" ?

That's about as homophobic as it gets. Thats not what i said Jing ,if it a story about gay people great ,then watch it ,its just that it seems to be shoehorned into most progs these days ,why? same with a black guy married to a white woman .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And set to be Netflix's biggest global hit ever My Wife watch this last week......absolutely transfixed to the TV....... Head of the streaming giant Netflix, has confirmed that Squid Game is expected to become the biggest programme the network has ever shown. It is Netflix's top-rated show in 90 countries, including the UK and U.S., despite being in Korean and appearing with almost no fanfare. Some 95 per cent of its viewers are reportedly outside Korea. But the survival drama thriller offers more than gore: it is a sharp social satire about rich and poor, some say, but also a relentlessly tense mystery. This reminds me of the hype surrounding Twin peaks, biggest load of <deleted> ever made when I watched it once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
