Fortunate Son

So far extremely enjoyable to watch, absolutely love the costumes, cars and props. did background for the first episode so i could be a little biased!

That's one star apiece for each episode.

I was in high school during 1968 and what's portrayed here is pure nonsense. The plot is simply unbelievable on so many levels. It involves a conspiracy theory that even a hard-core conspiracy nut would say is far-fetched. For reasons I don't understand, CBC is heavily into doing "period" pieces and every one that they do is an absolute mess of anachronisms and basic stupidity. This one is true to form.

It's ambitious.

I remember a lot of growing up in the 60s. I am in disagreement with the previous review, I find the premise intriguing, great acting and believable. A fresh and captivating story. I also loved Anne with an E. CBC is on the right track.

I was reluctant at first to watch this because of the low overall rating. Then I saw that it was low because of an ignorant and childish 1 given by someone with some weird issue.. believe the people who rated it 9+10. The story is clever, that cast superb. You will be hooked! I was gutted when it ended...

Kari Matchett is far too good of an actress to be involved in this propaganda play. It is obvious to anyone who experienced the late 60's that what is being offered up by the writers is pure biased speculation with no research being done at all, and it is a shame.

I was in the Navy as a corpsman, my brother a Marine in the swamps of Vietnam. We both knew people who objected and people who ran. I am sure at least a few are still alive and could have been used as advisors for continuity, correctness, reality... three factors lacking from the script.

I suggest the tag line, based on a true story be removed for honesty's sake.
