FBI: Most Wanted: Ghost in the Machine (2024)
Open the pod bay doors HAL
Everyone has opinions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and many tv shows and movies have been made. I must admit that as someone who has been watching both science fiction and police programs I enjoyed watching the episodes
I also recognised a similarity between this ChatBot and the older version known as HAL from the movie 2001: a space odyssey especially when the App took over the home and would not respond to instructions.
Perhaps we will be a little more considerate of SIRI or Alexa next time we ask for assistance.
Note; when HAL was developed the name was one letter before IBM ..............
FBI: Most Wanted: Chains (2022)
A victim's trauma goes beyond rescue
From the perspective of a survivor it is good to see a show that pays respect to the ongoing trauma from criminal incidents. Wounds are deep and yet Hana focuses on helping the girl in need. Eventually the trauma will hit but most importantly it shows that the affects are not over when the bad guys are caught.
The writers are to be congratulated for dealing with such a difficult subject.
It becomes more personal for the team when it hits on of their own but the discovery of the crime behind the abduction while more significant than Hans's they have to solve one to find Hana and the girl .... Again congratulations on dealing with this issue.
FBI: Fathers and Sons (2021)
Continual conflict on both sides of the law
Some have complained about the political aspects about the show and yet how can we have a genuine conversation about a program without considering every side. There is the issue of the heartache of a broken medical system which is unable to handle a life threatening operation and the responsibility of the FBI, or any law enforcement who has to deal with the situation.
Alongside this is the reality that each person on either side has their own personal story which drives their choices and their consequences.
Of course there are those who do not agree but we need to be able to acknowledge the issues in front of us and this, among other shows, give us the opportunity for open discussion.
Law & Order: UK: Hidden (2009)
Exact copy of a Law and Order from the original
I would have loved this episode however only the day before I had seen Law and Order season 6 episode 1 and I recognised not only the story but the script.
At one stage I was pretty well saying the words with each character. The differences only came with football clubs verses baseball clubs, locations, and using a knife not a gun - cultural differences there. Seriously did no one consider that anyone would notice..... now I want to look for more matching episodes.
I will say that both programs were brilliantly acted, and the production was excellent. The UK storyline also included a regular character's backstory.
