Leftist propaganda. (SPOILERS, but read them, I'm doing you a favor)


Skip this crap, it's a bunch of leftist cliches, every way you turn. Examples:

(1) "It's big corporation's fault. They control governments, they cause global warming and all kinds of 'global' issues, I tell'ya.

Never mind that governments manipulate armies and define what 'justice' is. No, it's the big-corpo that is the 'real evil'".

(2) "Not even priests believe in God anymore."

(3) "Oh, poor muslims. There are no terrorists among them. It's the big-corpo who drives them nuts, makes their heads explode, and pushes them to do bad things. Muslims gassing their own people?! Noooooo. Big-corpo did it."

(4) "Only bad guys have guns. Good guys are just...martial artists. They don't even carry a knife. When they do use a gun, it's when they take the gun from the bad guy." BTW, why kill the bad guy if you've taken his gun? Never mind. Also, never mind that London has become a cesspool of crime since brits surrendered their right to self-defense to the UN.

(5) "Oh, and any bad guys, other than CEO's, are bad, you know why? Because their dads are CEO's or... any other kind of putrid capitalists and have abused their kids, or neglected. It's not their fault if their regular job is to kill people, man..."

What can you expect from a BBC collaboration? BBC is a neo-socialist propaganda machine.

Not so sure people buy into these PC cliches that easily anymore. Which, most likely explains why this was cancelled.


I only watched because of "Gorgeous" George. That mouth...

I'd be opened to watch her in a follow-up of "Hunted" that gets real, but not in another 'unicorns ridding the rainbow'. Let another George do that. Like, say, Clooney. It's his turf, really, with movies like "Michael Clayton" and "Syriana".

Even if you are/were right about it being propaganda, what does it matter?

If the story is good enough and the character development is believable, and the production values are good, I'll watch whether it's Leftist or Rightist.
