First two episodes are interesting, but a lot like Homeland or other Middle Eastern centric terrorist dramas.

> seizing 20% of Ukraine called the Donbas?
I would care depending on motive and implications.
With respect to Ukraine, the US began this long ago pursuant to a long white paper written during or just after the collapse of the USSR, by the Rand Corporation - you can still find online if you look.
It betrays the strategy the US has of continual stress, attacks, sanctions, political moves against Russia for the sake of just degrading the Russian economy in hopes of causing a revolution and making Russians' lives miserable.
This is the 21st century and that is a shit policy for solving problems in the world. That said, it would not be a good thing for the US for Russia to get to the point that it is the #1 trading partner with the EU. That is the relevant issue here - but it has not been uttered once in any news report, and that is my #1 issue.
When the military in the US over-rides the civilian government, then the civilian government just becomes a reality show comedy joke. That is the core issue for the US that I can see.
It doesn't matter that you think Russia invaded Ukraine.
The context and intensity of this extension of the Cold War changes over the last 10 years, and the US CIA was involved in Ukrainian government.
The insult is that you expect anyone to buy your empty-headed narrative.
You are not hiding your ignorance by constant troll insults trying to mask the fact that you know nothing and cannot think.
> which has nothing to do with our national security.
Don't be so sure.
The sin of this war is that it was planned for a long time without the knowledge or consent of the American people. It was sold to us as Russia turning evil and first trying to take over Ukraine, then it was former Soviet satellite countries, then it was all of Europe, then the world. Putin was given the Hitler media treatment - not that Putin is a good guy - you have to remember that Putin is the head of a country marked for revolution and breakup by the United States, so he's not as easy-going or as stupid as our American Presidents.
Except it's not cancelled, a new episode of "The Conners" dropped today. The plot was that Ben's hardware store burned down and instead of rebuilding the hardware store Ben wants to buy Hardware World magazine. I like this series. If anyone has heard Roseanne Barr talking lately, she sounds out of her head.
I thought it was good. I already mostly knew the story and was interested in how they would do it. I thought it was good, and the characters were believable. The thing that was a bit annoying was that it seemed to be always raining in Japan. Is that true? I was slow moving because most of the story was about explaining the Japanese culture.
Peggy was Mad Men and she was really great in that, and many other series.
I get that you like Homeland, so do I. But you don't have to get your knickers in a twist and all defensive because it is mentioned in the same comment as something else.
I am not comparing The Veil with Homeland, just saying they are similar in genre and the worlds they inhabit. Funny about Homeland, for me, it took me forever, literally years to finish Season 1 when I started watching it, and it was only because I ran out of other things to watch that I went back to it. It was after Season 3 that Homeland started to get progressively better to me right up to the end, though I don't know why they had to kill off Max. Should I dare to weigh in on differences Homeland, aside from the bizarre idea of Carrie Matheson rising to the top levels of the CIA with whatever mental wacko she had, the themes and plots were top notch.
I've been through Homeland about 2 1/2 times now.
The reason I talked about Moss is that she is a kind of subliminal actor that sneaked up on me and I only realized it when I saw her in some other series, she is really great. For me, less is much more.
I cannot bring myself to watch "The Handmaids Tale" but I feel like if I ever do her work will be top notch.
The Veil is thinner, smaller, and not written nearly as well as Homeland. It's kind of hard to believe Moss as a Brit. I think she should have downplayed the accent into a more tran-Atlantic pattern, he accent definitely sounds TV series.
The big deal here is that the are using Daesh as a boogie man. We don't really learn anything about it, and they don't even define it or make any comment on it other than to use it as the all-knowing, all-powerful villains. I was totally annoyed by the two Jihadis stealing the atomic material from a medical devise, that was lame.
The Veil is a kind of cheap Middle Eastern action spy movie with women leads. Most of it does not have even the echo of a ring of truth to it.
I've researched it since before the war, clod. And the word is skull.
> USA has been controlled by non-Anglo-Saxons for a very long time.
Have no idea where you are getting that info or what it is supposed to mean?
It's bad capitalism to reward terrible movies, or even sub-excellent movies with your money.
