Why pollute your mind by watching junk like this and adding to the wealth of its producers?
Cause it’s not ALL trash, there are wholesome messages in some things. And it’s entertaining. Even monoliths of self- righteousness such as yourself must relax sometime. Or, maybe not.
Finished episode 8 last night. Going to try to wrap it up tonight.
Bill and Frank would’ve killed the series for me.
I started an Icelandic series...”Trapped”. First season was great even though I had to read captions to understand what the cast was saying. Second season...had a gay male couple playing a major role in the first episode (and presumably the later episodes). “Click.” Off went the TV.
Except this IS garbage and anti-Christian.
You can’t just say “the poison tastes good” as it rots your insides.
Stopped watching when someone associated with the series said they intentionally put in the episode with gay lovers so people would have to watch it.
I don’t get my moral compass from television. I get entertainment and distraction, core beliefs come from other sources. I understand the difference. Perhaps we just disagree.
Demand better

I quit watching “Lost” and “The Walking Dead” after many episodes due to ridiculous unnecessary homosexual scenes. I watched a couple of episodes of this show (on a bootleg website, I ain’t paying for it) but quit before the homosexual scene because I could just see it coming. Depending on the show I can possibly handle a designated homosexual character but if it gets physical I’m gone. It grosses me out.
I don’t want to disappoint you, but this is better than most. At least there were some positive, but overly harsh actions in this series, the overwhelming message I took from it was love, sacrifice, and loyalty. Where else you going to get that from a mainstream action show. All good plots revolve around love and loyalty, and this was no different. Sure, it had it share of bullshit and counter programming, but it was easy to recognize and ignore. But, to each their own I suppose. Little house on the prairie is gone, and I liked that show too.
The ability to discern the parts that you agree with from the parts you find offensive is an indication of a healthy mind.
There were parts of the series I found “over the top.” Then I remembered the “bad guys” had mushrooms for heads.
I especially liked the Rocky Mountains outside of Natick MA.
I found the “evil” characters to be cartoonish. I found the “love story” forced. And the gay scene between the teenagers was contrived. The writing was blunt—there really was nothing in the entire series that was a surprise.
But…it was filmed well.
I understand it’s not for everyone. But, I also know I am not their “target” audience. But coming onto a forum to dismiss something you clearly did not watch, nor have any intention of watching is silly. You sound like a preacher telling teenagers not to dance.
I’d call it brutalizing mass murder...
Only because you’ve lowered your expectations so much - you think a saltine is a ritz cracker.
Yea. Ok. Your moral superiority is showing. Keep it up and pretty soon you can be in a dark room reading the Bible by candlelight. Oh. You’ll be alone.
Tried to have a thoughtful conversation. Just couldn’t quite get there with this guy.
Didn’t watch it yet is the expert. Tells me a lot.
It was easy to skip things. When they said key words, I hit FF and stopped after they died. PERFECTION.
I may have to try your method. I’ve run short on good TV series to watch.
