The Buccaneers (2023)
Haters Should have Watched More Than the First Episode
I, too, thought The Buccaneers was going to be a flop, but I stuck with it, and the story grew, got stronger, and more engaging. Some of the acting was weak, but it certainly didn't deserve the poor ratings some of these reviewers gave it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack, with Taylor Swift singing in the first and last episode (Oh my!!! Now they'll really swoon!). I like this new genre that blends 21st Century music, language, and mores with Austen and Wharton. It's also even more amusing watching the purists clutch their pearls over it!
The Buccaneers ended with a cliffhanger and got a second season, so maybe the haters should have watched past Episode 1.
The 1619 Project (2023)
Excellent Series
Just like the magazine series and book, this series sheds light on the history of America that has been white-washed for decades. It clearly illustrates the way in which this omission impacts America in 2023.
As I read some of these reviews, I recognize the fear that many White people experience when they are faced with the reality of the way Black people were historically mistreated and disenfranchised that continues to impact them today.
By highlighting the many contributions of Black people and the unimaginable obstacles they overcame, The 1619 Project is an integral tool for educating America.
I ask the reviewers who assert the series is offering false information to cite a single, specific example of untrue information in the available episodes.
Lincoln's Dilemma (2022)
Excellent Documentary Series!
This documentary is well done, educational, and illuminates a Black perspective on Lincoln and the American Civil War. I highly recommend this series, although it may be disturbing to people who have never gotten an unbiased education in history.
Hillary (2020)
Your Partisanship Blinds You
The negative reviews illustrate the damage of a 30+ year character assassination of a competent, strong woman. This documentary is objective and informative, showing both positive and negative characteristics of Hillary Clinton, as well as the mess of American politics.
Hunters (2020)
A Good Series
I would ask the people who reviewed this series poorly if they actually watched it? We found it unique, amusing, thoughtful, and definitely worth watching.
