Mrs. Copaliscrossing and I were looking for a TV show to watch and decided on New Amsterdam because we liked the lead actor when he was in The Blacklist. Well, it all started out pretty good and we were getting into it then... ugh... the far left political messaging started getting stronger and stronger with subjects like hiring disparity between minorities and white people and other pet liberal causes. Sooo disappointing. The same thing happened to us when we got into Madame Secretary and Lone Survivor. We have decided we are better off staying with the streaming content that usually stays to a sane storyline instead of pushing a political agenda. Still have to be careful with that.
Sadly, it appears that Blue Blood is being infiltrated too :/
You might not like westerns and rural sitcoms but the purge of them from network TV was the beginning of 50 years of Hollyweird brain rotting garbage. Mayberry for Maude! I haven’t watched that crap in decades. How are they weaving their perversions, racism and the war against American men into sci-fi nowadays?
This season is unwatchable. It’s turned into the ultimate BLM social justice anti white show ever.
That was an outstanding show with excellent theme music.
“The Blacklist” is a great show. It’s in its 8th season now but Netflix may have the previous seasons.
Blacklist seems tailor made for Spader. No other actor could play that role as well.
That was a good show.
my favorite show!
So true they start strong and the do the “ boil the frog” by pushing messages and inserting the abnormal as normal
Hoping that the woke message is absorbed and use by viewers to convert non viewers
Netflix for us too at least there are series with no messaging especially the historic ones
Agree city on the hill has you backing the black DA as he fights for justice based on principle and not his skin.
Kevin Bacon plays a great sleazy FBI agent and the win at any cost dirty tricks plays out like today’s corrupt agency
Some of the other characters go woke but their actions, drug dealing , shootings, and even theft of property owners money by the women leader overshadow their others semingly caring intent
Blacklist seems tailor made for Spader. No other actor could play that role as well.
.......
Agree. Tantalizing twists. Who will win Liz or Red
The directors keep you guessing and have great back stories as Red feed them the latest lister
I’ve never seen new Amsterdam
It’s horrid. So woke it’s off the charts.
Saw a good Russian TV series on Youtube called “Second Sight” about a blind detective who uses his other senses and instincts to solve crimes.
For TV shows, I’m drawn to police procedural like L&O etc. Although (plz no one get on me). I love the Handmaids Tale.
The Americans is an amazing show. It is obviously fictional but based on a real historical spy program. The characters are excellent, and I’ve never seen another TV show or movie that gets Russia, Russians (and their mentality), and the Russian language so spot-on accurate.
I don’t know how you lasted past the first episode when he lamented that “six months ago we had health insurance,” referring to the fact that the Obamacare individual mandate had just been overturned.
You should have know then that it was thinly-veiled neo-Bolshevik propaganda.
I’m not as big a fan of the British TV comedy, though I did ocassionally watch “As Time Goes By” and enjoyed it.
There are so many great British period pieces, full length, on YouTube, both movies and TV series. Glenda Jackson did a great series “Elizabeth R” from the 70’s. And there’s just too many to even list. For some reason the British are just excellent at acting, directing, scripts, sets, etc. And for the most part mostly mild action instead of CGI violence and bizarre occult happenings like Hollywood produces.
