Tough for me to watch

I haven't watched this yet, though I was intrigued by the plot synopsis, but I wanted to let you know, I really appreciate what you're saying. It does sound tough to watch. I think that's the beauty of good sci-fi, though (if this is considered sci-fi, I'm not sure), isn't it? To hold up a mirror to reality and show us how ugly it is, and make us feel it in a way maybe we don't already, though we should; that is the strength and power of good sci-fi. People should feel this way just from hearing about this stuff, you know? It should make them angry, as I suspect it makes you angry, but if they aren't angry enough, hopefully they can make the connection you made and start to get angry and even do something about it.

Anyway, I think it's good to be "touchy" about these things. It's a rational response. You'd think the world would have progressed by now, but it's still pretty barbaric. I was just on the Human Rights Watch webpage. Oh man.
Hang in there.

Hmm, well, like I said, I haven't seen it, and there's no accounting for taste, anyway, but I think we could argue about the purpose of art and if something is good or not endlessly (uh, I guess that's what the message boards are for . . .). My point is just that, if something elicits strong feelings, a strong response with real-world implications, one could argue that it's doing its job, and maybe that is worth something in itself, regardless of if you consider it to be well-crafted or even innovative rather than clichéd.

I like seeing new things, things that seem imaginative and innovative, but it's funny to me how sometimes hearing the same old story can evoke a strong response.

From what I've seen so far, it's good entertainment, yes it IS cliched at points, but me not being from Australia and knowing about the divisions of its people in its own country, I am sure this is an "about time" series for them, and for other people "Yeah, the minority rising above, the bothers fighting, yeah I've seen this before". Of course you have! This one, I'm watching for a bit though.

The thing that got me was the well dressed, obviously snotty lady picking one of the Hairies out of a line up from their 'jail' (spoilers ahead):

Man: Just pick one
Woman: It's not that simple darling.
Man: They're all as hairy as each other, one is not as good as the next.
Woman: You've ever been to the pound? You don't take any old (curls her lips in disgust)shih-tzu.

She picks one, the guard shoots the others dead in their heads, execution style.

Same story, different countries, alien or man...there will be no real difference...

consequences-schmonsequences as long as I'm rich.🐇

wow.. you're a deep sensitive person (i meant it in a good way)
probably you should mix it up with some comedy show.

Agreed. First there's a remake of Roots where Africans are treated as subhuman, then along comes Cleverman where more dark skinned people are treated as subhuman. This sucks, I watched the first episode, then no more. These two series, Roots, and Cleverman, just tell the story of European hate, racism, and bigotry. Add on top of all that, DT running for president, and it's just too much.

At first I thought the racism message would have been better if it had been more subtle. Then I remembered how stupid racists are.



No Sitcoms! No Sports! No Reality!

The United States is a country of Laws. We have immigration laws. Just because the current Administration has decided to ignore the law doesn't mean that restoring the law would be hateful or divisive. Those who are in the country illegally should not be. How and when they leave, or stay, will be determined, but it will not be aided by those who ignore the existing law. If you don't like the law, change it, but in the meantime, our President has ignored it and his behavior is reprehensible and demonstrates a hatred for a sovereign America. We are fortunate he will be gone in a little over 200 days.

This series is racist and political. It should not be funded.
