Red Rock (2015)
The Best Unlikable Series
I love the show, very addictive. The plot twists weaves a story "just out of reach," especially for the Garda. From an American point of view, or at least this Irish-American, I can not think of one likable character in the show. Bridget always looks like she's ready to pull a fast one. Vinny is just plain enept and whipped, Kaity is unreasonable, Keith is a moppet. The Reids are all just nuts. Angela and Tommy seem totally oblivious, the Hennessys all need pyscho-therapy, and every Garda in the station are prone to corruption of some kind. Rory seems untrustworthy and ambitious to a fault. Nikki seems out of her depth. Most of the men in this series are such momma's boys. It takes my breath away. I loved my mother to death but the idea of her controlling me as an adult is laughable...I can go on but I won't...But somehow the show works.
The Last Ship (2014)
Unrealistic
I have seen every episode of this show from the beginning. I am a retired, 71 year old sailor and soldier from the VN era. I see many mistakes, it's almost like watching Star Trek where the characters continuously put themselves into needless danger. Just not realistic. I realize this is for entertainment but to mislead young people for the sake of ratings is just wrong. The military is not, until Obama, a social brainwashing organization where homosexuality is encouraged. Wouldn't know it from this piece of crap show. Good luck. I've had enough.
Blindspot (2015)
Boilerplate
Casting is boilerplate, meaning, strong women characters that seem to think being masculine is perfectly okay in giving children the idea that a 100 lb woman can kick a 200 lb man's butt up and down the stairs. In the fantasy world of TV, women act and exhibit toughness constantly which really doesn't exist in the real world. On TV women are always in charge, perhaps that's true in some of the metropolis' where there is minority rule, but the rest of us in fly over country get tired of the same old thing: gays, kung fu Janes, anti-religion, political correctness, immorality, lack of values and traditional culture. Yeah, the show is okay but nothing new or interesting about it. Hollywood needs to get over itself. 99.95% of women really can't kick a grown man's ass no matter what Hollywood thinks. They actually do a disservice to little girls, it can be dangerous when a girl thinks she can just kick a man's butt and he's going to turn the other cheek.
