Don't you love how they just beat you over the head with the plot, like it's sooo difficult to follow? Society must be incredibly dumbed-down if this is now a requirement.

Thanks for the info.

Shows beating me over the head with the plot would be far preferrable to them beating me over the head with politics.

I saw it browsing through FireTV Saturday evening and binged all six episodes that night. I liked it. The wife said it was weird.

David Tennant and Mike Scheen are great. Nick Offerman and all the cast are great.

I quit watching Dr Who because of the constant anti gun, climate change, gender inclusivity beatings.

Try "The Boys" on prime. Few politics, engaging cast, good story line.

Agree. What i'm disappointed in is the new Dr whoette was good in the bbc series Broadchurch. Hoping she'd bring some of that in to Dr. Who. Sadly it didn't happen.
What i find more ludicrous is. Here's a british show trying (IMO) to lecture and preach to me / us about how bad America was through some of the incidents of history. Not only that, the liberties they took with (again IMO) with some of the stereotypical characters was pathetic.

One would believe some of the people involved still had a bad taste in their mouth over that whole colonies revolting 1776 thing. Plus in complete denial how bad the british empire was to anyone other than to the "manor born"

They pushed it a little in Good Omens.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse became: War (Red Horse), Famine(Black Horse), Death(Pale Horse), and get this... Pollution (should be disease/pestilence (White Horse)) .

They also had one or two anti gun lines, but it was more subtle than Dr. Who. There may have been more that I missed as I was bing watching and multitasking a little too on some beers.

Pestilence retired, remember. One of the actors in G.O (Mark Gatiss) was one of the writers for the later Dr. Who series, and played Mycroft in the PBS Sherlock Holmes series.

Changing Pestilence to Pollution was a plot point in the original novel the series is based on, so that's not something that was inserted as a deliberate statement, at least not by the creators of the miniseries.

Finally another season of Mindhunter begins this friday.

Netflix.
