Anytime someone describes sth as 'woke' it's a download for me. Sure it may not be all that; but the epithet means it's surely worth consideration. Plus I rather liked the original film. Be interesting to see what they make of it here. |
Well, you know Hollywood these days: let's just take something old and fu(|< it up by replacing the original characters with females, ethnics, or queers because we can't just write something original for them or by turning serious TV shows into idiotic movie comedies for 12 year-olds. |
Amen to that. Nothing will touch the Spacey /Whalley original. |
That misogyny, xenophobia and homophobia makes me immediately guess who you are. Hello, jaxe, crying at the idea of a series with female protagonists again, huh? Typical of a crying baby. Sorry, it's not about muscled man with baby oil. |
There is nothing woke about this show, it's just dark and twisted. 6 episodes of 20mins run, wasn't a bad watch |
I Think Guest2154 your comment regarding queers is old and very offensive towards the Gay Community and you refrain with such word. |
I heard Diane Kruger gets naked in this for what it's worth. Thanks for the series pack. |
Hollywood is just recycling stories that have been done before years ago at some point. It;s becoming almost rare now that something totally original comes out of Hollywood. Yes, Hollywood has an agenda to force certain perspectives down peoples throats, as does mainstream media platforms as well. I'm not a xenophobe like some of the regulars that show up here, but facts are facts. I mean you can tell where certain films go so far out of their way to insert certain ethnic groups or lifestyle choices into films to the point where it actually effects the storylines plausibility or has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot. The lifestyles and ethnic representations are NOT the problem for me. The problem arises when the filmmaker doesn't have the skill-set to smoothly execute the integration of the above mentioned. I mean look at a show like "Friends" when they tried to force a black character into that lily white show. How does one successfully integrate characters that normally don't interact in the same social environment? Either take the time to actually write a plausible explanation or leave it out of the story. It's insulting to the intelligence of a lot of viewers. Message to Hollywood: Keep being lazy about the integration of your diversity agenda into your films and you'll lose viewership guaranteed. As far as the agenda thing is concerned, my family members are very well informed about how propaganda devices are implemented on media platforms and how to recognize it. Listen, we don't' mind, just make the shit entertaining. Only weak minded individuals adapt their political and social viewpoints based on media fed propaganda. So do your job an entertain, that's all you've ever been good for in my book, and you're starting to loose the ability do even that. Mortimer Adler stated: "There's nothing wrong with propaganda, as long as you recognize it as propaganda" In "How to read a book" published in 1940. |
For The pedantically inclined,"There's nothing wrong with propaganda, as long as you recognize it as propaganda" Is actually my paraphrase of the verbatim quote. |

Many thanks to GalaxyTV!! Downloaded - scan watched all episodes to check quality and make sure it's not in Russian, and fully watched first two episodes. Audio = 9, Video = 9, engaging story, good acting. This is a good watch and well worth your time. Ignore the Howler Monkey Contingent, anything that portrays something their delicate egos feel threatened by is always denigrated and belittled by scared, ignorant little people. Pity them, but don't feed the animals |
@ Lesbian by posting here you are in the same club ... Ms holier than thou |
so you scan watched all episodes just to check quality. and the comment about Diane Kruger has nothing to it? |
"... a woke version of a movie." Great, yes please and thank you. I'll give this a watch given the recommendation from Guest-8340. |
@ Lesbian Donald Trump said it best Everything woke goes to |
