I must admit I watched it on illegal uploads onto YouTube. It is very woke. The couple at the center of the story are living in sin. The Eleanor Tomlinson character is of course smarter than all the men. There is only one decent scene where the Royal Navy blasts the Tripods on a beach filled with refugees.

BBC? The Brits will love it considering they have surrendered to practically everything up to and including the folks that will eventually exterminate them via the scimitar.

Thanks for the warning. I’ll watch the George Pal version this weekend in protest.

I guess it goes without saying the church scene is out.

These shows are not entertainment, they are propaganda.

I noticed a week or so ago that “Nancy Drew” has returned. I used to enjoy the various TV series based on the books.

I will not even watch this one to see how good it is. I know before hand that it will simply be Pavlovian conditioning.

“Climate change”

Now _that_ is what I call science _fiction_!

They can keep their new "woke" version of The War of the Worlds ...

I'll always have this ...

Let me guess, there is a muslim character who does some heroic thing despite facing discrimination from all the stuffy Brits?

If they first corrupted Scripture, then don’t be surprised by what they attack next.

Everything the BBC does now is woke. They wrote it into their standards.

[Sans-Culotte]

There is no need to watch anything new from the BBC in the Age of Woke. Fortunately, there have been enough programs and films made up to now that it is no big loss IMO to simply skip today’s woke crap.

Are the martians just refugees seeking a better life?

To be fair, HG wells would probably have approved, since he was an anti imperialist atheist and feminist of his day.

I have seen the yt vids, in other languages than British english, and they screwed the pooch!!

You’ll be glad to know that there is a French version (English with subs for the occasional French - La Guerre des mondes) that is MUCH better. No woke crap. Re-imaged in the present. Very mysterious unlike the original and the woke remake. Season 1 is uploaded and complete - 8 episodes
