Sons of Liberty (2015)
Fabrication of history
Sadly, what is an awesome story about the founding of our great nation, was ruined by fiction writers who got the time period right, as well as the names, but nothing portrayed in the series is accurate. Why do this? Why use this opportunity to not tell the story and to teach younger generations about this time period. A fun story, but don't make it out to be accurate history. I'm not certain the writers ever opened a history book or watched anything pertaining to the Revolutionary War. It's as though the writers asked their 5th grade sons to write this, based on a cartoon they may have watched. This was hard to choke down. Do better.
10 Things You Don't Know About (2012)
Revisionist History
2 episodes in and it's not worth any more time. They take great leaps to reach their conclusions, and their facts fail to line up with history. It's an attempt to generate interest in history by using tabloid tactics of today. When you have programming for multiple different shows, with "experts", historians, scientists, and even professors, and their "facts" are drastically different? You cannot have two different truths, as 1 would be 100% wrong. Studying history the way that I have, the "facts" in this show are comical and generated by Hollywood to gain viewers. 2 episodes in and I won't watch the rest, knowing the false historical content that it contains.
Colonial House (2004)
Great idea... poor execution.
While it's almost 19 years after it aired, as I watch this series, I couldn't help but see what liberalism and a lack of work ethic can do to a country, faith, and mentality. People clamor for socialism, yet just watch this limited series to see how the people who worked hard and tried, felt about those who slacked off and didn't play by the rules. Many of the women cut the legs out from under their husbands and squashed the roles that they were supposed to be playing in 1628. Didn't they know what they signed up for? I could not stand the Voorhees family and I felt bad for the father. I also did not care for the Heinz family, both from a leadership standpoint and from a religious standpoint. They do fit the world's view of Christianity though, but not the Bible's. I agree with the assessment that those working as servants saved the show, as well as Don Wood. I'd have started a Colony with any of those men and women, but the others would've doomed us from the beginning, with their poor work ethic and unwillingness to play by the rules. The "experts" saved the Colony, but without Jack Lecza and his last minute push, the Colony as a whole would've failed, and the show should've let them. They didn't "pull together" as a Colony, but they pulled together for selfish ambition and because of procrastination, knowing how foolish they looked on a TV broadcast. This was a great and fun idea, one that I'd have loved participating in, but it was poorly executed by those who played their roles, minus the above bright spots. I'd be curious to see this done 20 years later, as smart phones and other technology was not yet present for another 5 or 6 years when this came out. I'd love to see people now, put down their phones, THEN try to take part.
Deputy (2020)
When liberals give it 10 stars, you know they're lacking the most common sense.
Like MOST have stated, the show was ruined from the very first line and it got worse from there. Such great promise to be ruined by the liberal Hollywood agenda...
"Sheriff is a rebel who fights for illegal immigrants and is protected by a no nonsense lesbian, all while be married to a feminist who is raising their daughter the same way..."
Look forward to watching this show get canceled.
Designated Survivor (2016)
Good show ruined by liberalism
They took a fun idea and then incorporated every controversial story currently in the headlines, hoping to belittle Trump. The show started off great but went down hill quickly.
I was again cautiously optimistic about the move to Netflix, yet when I saw the preview and the rating of TV-MA, I knew that due to venue, the show was going for shock and smut over substance. For example, the preview showed an gay, African American couple kissing on the bed. You know what they're going for now.
IF you're a conservative, don't support this trash.
The Kids Are Alright (2018)
Good idea, but...
I was excited for this show, yet after watching a few episodes, I was taken aback by how cold and callous Peggy (the mother) was. I understand a few jokes about kids, but she could care less about her kids. My family was much the same way (strict, frugal, ornery), but there was always "love".
My belief is that her character, along with the portrayal of Catholics (I'm not Catholic) led to the downfall and cancellation of this promising show.
