R. Hamrick's Reviews
The Tourist
A quirky plotline and stark Aussie scenery make the first season watchable. Didn't get past that, though.
Wokies will be pleased by Hollywood's usual over-representation of blacks (plus grossly obese females as a bonus) among the cast.
And yes, the white male roles have a monopoly on stupidity and evil.

How did this series happen?
Yes, the blacks in the film are all positive characters. Failure and stupidity, as always, are owned by white males. How else could the series appear on Netflix?
But this aside, the series is genuinely funny and difficult not to binge watch.

Worth watching
Underachieving white girl from well-to-do British family apparently sees black men as sexy above all others. And wants us to know it.
But she's otherwise quite often funny.

Could they have picked a female lead less true to the novel?
One finds it hard to imagine the male lead focusing so intently on anyone so plain, in face and form, as she who was selected to play the role Anne Hathaway mastered in the 2011 version. After Episode One I'd had enough.
But Netflix sees as its duty the determined subjection of viewers to wokery. And an all-white cast apparently could not be tolerated.

Great at first. Somewhat predictable thereafter.
As with nearly everything the film industry produces, this popular series was adapted to promote Lefty views: including in this case the BBC's own hatred for Winston Churchill, hitherto a hero almost without equal.
But then there's also a hilariously unlikely black 'preacher' who pops up to talk sense to white, working-class mobsters. In 1920s England.

White men bad. And stupid.
Barely made it through the first episode before bailing on UNFORGOTTEN. Women and minorities wear all of the 'white' hats in this police drama series; caucasian males of a certain age wear the dark ones.
Nor is Britain overwhelmingly white, if the BBC is to be believed.
