There was an interesting interlude in last night's episode where the son saves two medical students (who were black) from being shot by a bigoted white. Inserting that bit may have been designed to define the timeframe, but I suspect there is an ulterior motive. Also, the AF head of the program to collect blus book data makes a racist slur regarding Betty and Barney Hill. As a writer, I didn't actually find the bits offensive since they had a valid reason for being used. It wasn't gratuitous, in other words.
The series is fictional handling of recorded factual information of a fantastic nature, but it's being handled in a turgid manner.

I found the 1st episode to be slow and boring, and the leftist propaganda was already quite evident and getting to be painful to watch. The propaganda just got worst in the 2nd episode, and became totally unbearble in the 3rd. I stopped watching when I could no longer hold the wonderful dinner my wife prepared for me last night. So, I have liberated myself from being TAKEN any further. 20 episodes,
what masochist can suffer through that?
