I still watch the Frasier reruns.

All the way through the series and then they start over again...and I do too.

One of the best TV shows ever.

A Clockwork Orange was not about torture, per se.

It was a cautionary tale about free will versus forced obedience, albeit greatly exaggerated to prove the point.

As we sit now and watch liberals attempt to criminalize thought and force everyone to embrace their ideologies, often with violence, A Clockwork Orange becomes even more relevant than ever.

I never watched that show, nor the reruns.

I've just discovered that a few of my favorite Brit series are on YouTube and have been binge watching them.

Each to their own, I say! :-)

Considering when A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was published ( 1962 ), the dystopian London portrayed, was, I suppose, a cautionary tale, though much exaggerated, vis-a-vis that era's white TEDDY BOYS gang culture and the outre clothes, hair styles, and slang that was in vogue at that time; not to mention the adult criminal gangs that were very famous back then...so famous that some years later, MONTY PYTHON was using them in skits.
