Fortunate Son

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...

Pandering to the false narrative that everyone alive at the time was either jive or stupid. I was there and I experienced some really messed up chit, but the backstory was much more complex than this Popsicle pablum could relate. Is this crap that your parents told you? Did anyone bother doing some real research? Or hire some technical advisers whose salary wouldn't amount to the first episodes catering bill? This is a story long overdue to be told, but when you fumble the plot so badly that it become farcical and unable for today's generation to relate to - you poison the field. All for a buck - can't be for any artistic motives, or you would have done due diligence. I hope you choke on your exploitative paycheck and the lavish luxuries it affords.

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!

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.

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.
