Touching Evil: Scalping: Part 1 (1998)
Worst Police Department Ever
The reason I started watching this series is because of Robson Green and I loved watching his series Wire In The Blood. It was a shame that it was cancelled after six seasons.
Touching Evil has turned out to be ridiculous. In this episode, Scalping, the OSC crime organization, which Green is a part, is following a serial killer kidnap a woman and they do nothing to stop him. They just sit back and watch her most likely being murdered. It makes absolutely no sense!
I don't know who writes this drivel, but they should have been fired. It's a shame because Green is a good actor and this series could have been great. I also don't understand how these actors could read this script and agree to act in it. I'm done with Touching Evil.
Turn (2014)
Beware, Turn is not historically accurate.
Although there is a lot of action and suspense, the series Turn: Washington's Spies is historically inaccurate.
The producers and writers should have added a disclaimer saying that this series is not accurate history. It was irresponsible of them not to add this disclaimer because some viewers may not have studied American history and specifically the American Revolutionary War and will believe that this TV show is actual American history. I have found that almost half of this story is false.
For example: General George Washington never had a mental breakdown or depression in his life and the city of New York was never called York City. There are so many historical inaccuracies in this show that I can't name them all, so just remember if you watch it, you are watching a made up TV show and not American history.
Ghosts (2021)
Ghosts UK vs Ghosts CBS
I'm sorry to say that the CBS version of Ghosts UK turns out to be a dumbed down version of the original.
I hadn't seen Ghosts UK and started watching the CBS version. The first few episodes were excellent and I had high hopes that I'd found a new clever series, but after the first season, it became sadly annoying. Even when using the episodes of the UK show to copy from, the CBS writers found a way to dumb them down.
I learned this because when I couldn't stomach watching season two of Ghosts CBS, I started watching the BBC original and the difference was striking. In all five seasons of Ghosts UK the writing was brilliant and never let up. I only wish that Ghosts UK was not ending the series with season five.
The Crown: Decommissioned (2022)
The End Of The Season
Just like the previous episodes of season 5 of The Crown, this was just as disappointing. I may have been able to enjoy it more if Netflix and the producers had added a disclaimer that it was a fictionalization of the Royal Family, but they refused and so we have a final episode and season filled with falsehoods and obvious attempts at changing history. The producers have tried to rehabilitate Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. First by hiring an attractive actor to portray Charles who looks nothing like him and second, by making him look misunderstood. In the meantime, they have made Princess Diana look like a peevish woman out for revenge when she was just trying to survive a situation that the Royal Family and Charles put her in.
In this episode, they try to make Prince Charles look like a misunderstood Prince who just wants to modernize the Monarchy and that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, sympathizes with, but in reality, Tony Blair couldn't stand Prince Charles. Blair even had to go to the Queen and ask her to tell Prince Charles to back off and stay out of government business.
I was relieved that the episode and season ended before the tragic death of Princess Diana and I hope that this will be the end of The Crown.
The Crown: Couple 31 (2022)
The Crown Should Have A Disclaimer
The Crown should have a disclaimer in the beginning of every episode. Many people such as Dame Judi Dench and former Prime Minister John Major have asked Netflix and The Crown producers to supply one, but they stubbornly won't. People are going to believe that this series is historical fact when it's far from it. Princess Diana's friend, Jemima Kahn, was a consultant on the show and quit because of the way that The Crown is portraying Diana in season 5. A few examples in this episode are: the BBC interview with Princess Diana didn't "blowup in her face"; in fact, she received worldwide sympathy. Another example is that they claim that Diana's boyfriend, Dr. Hasnat Kahn broke up with her after the BBC interview which is definitely not true. Dr. Kahn was interviewed in 2008 and said that Princess Diana broke up with him when she started dating Dodi Fayed. This episode as well as the entire fifth season seems to be an attempt to rehabilitate Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowls which is disingenuous. Season 5 is very disappointing.
