Yeah maybe “almost devoid” is a bit of a stretch, but even just to have a show that doesn’t actively try to shame you is enough to qualify as watchable at least.
It’s also very well executed and VERY well written.
Well, without putting too fine a point on it, you can read his character as severely traumatized (possibly sexually) as a child, with the associated sexual identity problems often associated with said trauma. I don't know if that's specifically how Wes Chatham is playing the role, but it certainly seems that way to me. Which is, in effect, quite accurate to the observed effects of sexual trauma on male children.
You’ve got it 100% right. Lots of the Amos-isms are a result of severe childhood trauma including forced childhood prostitution. They did a really good job portraying just how screwed up in the head he is in the show without making it silly. Read the short story “the churn” if you want to know more.
who dat? I don't remember a gay bad guy. I think this show is a low on the SJW as it can be. Not all conflict or bad guys excusing their own behaviour is SJW.
I think 90% of it is good but can we talk about the female marine? They picked the absolute least athletic and completely soft woman to play the supposed super marine. Her cast in that role is so cringe that I almost gave up on the show.
Where are the Sarah Connors and the Pvt. Vazquez of the world when we need them?
