This is a contemporary drama and contains language and/or attitudes that some viewers, particularly those of a more mature generation, the Silent Majority, will find offensive.

Why has it become apparently acceptable to have so much profanity in supposedly entertainment productions? It is literally supposed to be an entertainment, not a medium to create a profane culture. Current generations are being brought up to think this is normal. Is it normal? It never used to be. The worst language I have ever encountered was in the school playground in the 1960s, but it was not prevalent in general society, certainly not in TV and films. So, when and where was the decision made, and by whom, to decide it as being acceptable to allow this sort of language into the lounges of the population where it is not welcome?

Unfortunately turning off is becoming less of an option as it is literally in nearly every drama and most contemporary so called comedies.

The language is so offensive.

It appears the North Americans roll off the F word as though it it was a flippant colloquialism, but it jars when there is just one F bomb after the other.

Recorded from Talking Picture TV, 2025.

I gave up after 50 laboured minutes.

I just could not see the point of it as an entertainment.

Yes, there is the psychology of the sailor seeking redemption, but I found the setting in the far east of no real interest.

I am sure there is more to come and he finally seeks achieves some inner peace, but I just could not be bothered to sit through another couple of hours of it.

More concise than the TV series and marginally easier to understand. The whole issue is a complex of lies, deceit, cover-ups and bullying.

The shocking part is that there are a lot of people out there who are guilty and got away with it. There are also many innocents whose lives have been changed by the whole affair.
