I’m half way through it right now, figured this discussion for sure has to go in the political forum since the show is openly political.
I’m enjoying it but struggling to find any kind of balance. It clearly paints the majority of rural white people as klans men even the chief ends up being a klans sympathizer at least. I haven’t finished the show but I’m interested if anyone else has watched it? I think it’s very well done and fascinating on how they tie in real events to this fictional world. I had never heard of the Tuscaloosa massacre before horrible event to read about. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

You’re right I got that mixed up it’s Tulsa. I had honestly never even heard of the event before, I was shocked when I did some looking into it that it was a real event.

Some of my ancestors were in California at the time, but the rest were still in modern day Ukraine, but with the Romanian army ruling over them. Even if our ancestors were there, we shouldn't feel guilty about it. But I'd ask, I don't know if you went to high school in Jacksonville but I did, why did school teach us so much about General Lee and not a word about any of this?

Augustine. That said I agree this kind of stuff should absolutely be reviewed in school. Good and bad it’s important people know history and various perspectives. I have one son entering into high school pretty soon I’m definitely going to be reviewing some of these events at the appropriate age since we homeschool all four of our kids.

Yeah, that was a problem too. The textbook always went to modern times but the school year was over by the time they were starting to explain WWI.

How closely does this follow the original comic?
I'm probably the only person who'll ever say this, but I really liked the original movie. They stayed mostly on plot, then made a very sensible, very chilling change to the ending that really fit the time it was in.

I'll play you in ping pong.

I never read the comics so I have no idea, I only vaguely remember the movie mostly the giant blue man naked in Vietnam lol. This series seems to take place after the movie since they reference events in the movie often.
“Redford won’t even take my calls, he says he would have won without me. Like some cowboy actor could obtain the Presidency” that’s my favorite line so far lol
Ok so I finished it last night
Ultimately the primary villain was the one trying to build a utopian world. Interesting twist |
