I agree. He talks about how he had to make all the action logical but in this he did not succeed. He also did not impart this feeling of loneliness that he says was central to the main character. For me it was just one stupid, gratuitously sick scene after another and I stopped it halfway through as the film has no…

Your point doesn't stand because these pilgrims were Brits, Dutch, etc. There was no such thing as "Americans" at that time. And the people you call "Native Americans" came from Asia across the Bering Straits. By the way, who was running the slave trade at its source: Brits and the Africans themselves. Learn some…

Gosh, I thought you had better things to do! Looks like I hit a sore point as now you are really out of control. If you look at my original comment, I was asking (because I haven't lived there in 10 years) if American males are like the ones portrayed in this ludicrous show. All through my comment, you'll notice…

"Founded on slavery"? Really? So the pilgrims had slaves? I didn't know that. And what country, being as they are run by humans, is not fucked up in general? The 80s? I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Republican? You're way off the mark, kid. I was part of the anti-war movement in the 60s and spent time in an…

Okay. Too bad you're too young to know what a different country the US used to be. The problem is that I do, and I can't live there anymore because it's become such a vulgar, stupid place where halfwits such as Donald Trump and Sarah Palin are taken seriously. And shows such as the above one and the drek spewed out…

Yet you have taken the time and energy to make ageist insults at someone who is criticizing a TV show. How generous of you. Your own father must be proud.

Are you somebody's 20-year-old slut? Just wondering.

I agree with you. My real problem with this show is the fact that the scriptwriters or whoever is responsible for the dialogue here, feel the need to make these dancers as vulgar as fraternity boys. I worked for many years in the dance world (in the 1970s) as a dance critic for newspapers in Chicago, San Francisco…

You're right. He is just telling his story and how he sees things. It's just sad that anyone would find it interesting enough to broadcast it.

Guess I've been out of the country for too long. Are all the young men in America this vulgar, stupid and immature? Why would anyone be interested in such men, who are still boys in everything they do? The way they talk, the way they dress, the way they spend their time (bounce parties?), as if they were still in…

Probably Woody Guthrie. But as you said, an affectation, which is why I don't like it and it lessens my respect for him and makes it impossible for me to listen to it.

Can someone tell me exactly when (and how) the New Jersey native Springsteen acquired a hillbilly accent? In his early songs it wasn't there.
