Have not watched it, will not watch it. Don't do Netflix since they hired the obamas.

I saw it last week.
The basic message was that kids should not have internet, cell phones or social media.

[Larry Lucido]

The author talks in circles and doesn’t say one single word about the show itself. At least not in the excerpt.

[Tell It Right]

I've heard that it also has the message that a white man might stab you in England, even though in real life that's done mostly from "Asians".

Watch the series about kiddie ‘influencers’. Yikes!

It’s purpose is similar to Triumph of the Will.

I have not read the whole article ( rather unlike me, as I usually do read ALL article at the original source ); however, that Netflix show has now become required viewing in UK school, even though the whole show has been changed ( re race etc., as well as the what the original story was about [ Paki grooming sex stuff of white girls in the UK ] to be something about bullying and whites! ), and the Starmer government is pushing this.

So I guess Kemi is being raked over the coals, for not watching it, because she is sort of Conservative.

Perfect Post of the Day Award.

Have not seen Pancake Bunny for a while.

Thanks so much.

Have not seen any of this other stuff either because no TV at my house.

Never even heard of it.

I am a cultural ignoramus now.

[A strike]

The article is not about the show itself.

[alternatives?]

My understanding it is very loosely based on an actual event but they change the race and motivation for the crime to make it a misandry film and push for more government control.

It’s purpose is similar to Triumph of the Will.

Without the snappy choreography I guess.

[nopardons]

From the articles about it, that I've read in the DAILY MAIL newspaper, they change just about everything that was in a REAL event...race, sex ( it's now anti-white boys ), even ages.

And watching it, IN SCHOOL, during class time, is required of all.

[nopardons]

Not really!

I saw it last week. The basic message was that kids should not have internet, cell phones or social media.

Isn't that kind of ironic? To be criticizing someone for not seeing something whose message is that we don't all have to be constantly connected and seeing what everyone else is seeing?

[Larry Lucido]

I get that. Still some context would be nice. Just blowing off steam.

[alternatives?]

It is propaganda intended to persuade.

[katana]

Watched it last week. British production brilliantly acted (what else with Stephen Graham as the dad). Each of the four episodes is a roughly hour long (seeming) single camera take with aerial drone and driving shots. Pretty sure that was accomplished with AI. But still, if you’re into the technical aspects it was very impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

They're good actors (in general). I'll give them that.

But it's nothing but pure propaganda. So I won't be watching it.

I don't have Netflix anyway.
