The Green Veil

Congrats to John Leguizamo on launching The Network and on The Green Veil. I am not a person who normally writes reviews but I want to be supportive to diverse creatives. I disagree with the negative user reviews. I found the show to be engaging, fresh, and attention grabbing. I always find it interesting to see the reaction of some viewers who perceive the slightest criticism of the white male cultural.

While not based on anyone specific indigenous tribe, it shines a light on the type of abuses that do still exist. From a story structure standpoint, I believe the show delivers. I get the central conflict that propels the story forward.

The entire cast does a good job bringing their respective characters to life. I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing more of this type of entertainment. Bravo! Thank you for making this and thank you for shooting in New York.

We all know Indians went thru much worse then this. What emphasizes the point is the irony of the story. The gender status imbalance just makes it even more relatable and brings out the injustice.

I am sure this will soon have a much better review section.

The score it deserves should be a lot higher than what it is right now thanks to only 3 reviews in total. Right now it is at 6,2. Lets get it higher folks, dont let this dime go to waste.

The show is emotion triggering, hence everything is just the way it should be, I would not change one thing. From the esthetics of the after war life to its core, its hits all of the right spots.

I was so fully engaged with the story and the characters that anything lacking in this series was unnoticed.

In terms of "feels like" the sets, costumes and make-up, with some stunning old cars anchored the show in the period.

The story is fictional while drawing on historical recollections of the time. It's not specifically about the thief of Indian children, rather it is the thief of these children that represents the extreme end of a more general deconstruction of the issues of the time.

The lead character is a truly hideous human. Is he working for the FBI or the KKK? The good news is that he gets what he deserves in the end.

Every good plot today is ruined by irrelevant men-hatred.

Instead of showing their real sins - their sins against non-white people, the Americans of this series cover it up with fake feminism.

That's how a series that have a great cinematography and should express a really important criticism is drown in the exact boring messages like everything we see on screens in the recent years. Moreover it returns to the exact shallow hatred and fear of the male sex that we really got tierd of.

While they could have done something truly innovative, something with meaning, they remained on the same level as any other television piece just to mask the real crimes of their nation and they also have the audesity to call it the green veil... What they forget is that the great series of our times were really subversive, different and deep and the men who were their heroes were complex and with many sides, even when they were anti-heroes.

In other words, an unfulfilled promise that starts well and loses it to the battered clichés that are everywhere today. Such a shame.

The only thing good about this series was a good story. Let's not confuse concept with actual writing, because the basic general concept was good and the writers ruined it. The scene play, directing, and overall writing was elementary, and gave the aesthetic of a high school senior project. The actors were constantly indicating, and generally just not convincing. The score and audio was off timing and not good selection. The narrative was too generic and very lazy. I continued to watch just to give the show the benifit of the doubt, expecting some great end, ignoring all the mistakes and stereotype cheap television errors. Realistically, the show was a good way to expose the terrible tragedy that is abuse and mistreatment of indigenous cultures, and how United States history continues to cover up these atrocities. The audio and sound selections might have genuinely ruined the movie above all else. The acting, the pathetic script, lack of proper psychological accuracy, aggressive mid-stereotyping, overall unprofessional production, Its surprising this series was even made.
