Thread Name: US TV, Books, & Films - what they say about us
Subject: RE: US TV, Books, & Films - what they say about us
I saw this current production partly as an antidote to some of what people have criticized in the past, not all voices included. The thing about having the time to research and a large amount of time to present is that it gives viewers a starting point for aspects of it they wish to pursue. No one historian is going to tell the ultimate story, the final draft of events retold.
The opening post wound its way down to the point that got me thinking about representation on TV - Homicide Life on the Street is one I have watched only a few times but it is different, it doesn't let them always be right and they don't always get the bad guy. I should watch the series through from the beginning if it is streaming somewhere because on broadcast television it's on too late at night to stay up for.
