Whether one likes or dislikes the president it is pretty clear that there was a plot to overthrow him. The plot both failed and succeeded.
It failed because the wrong presidential candidate got elected. It succeeded because it haunted the president for more than 3 years. Not only people who were behind the plot have not got punished but they were also able to persecute innocent people to cover for their deeds. Every American should at least watch this movie.
It is a remake of a 1983 movie with the same name. I watched the first 2 episodes at Walmart's corporate offices and I liked them. It is a nice show to watch when you want to relax. The show is funny and well made.
Guillermo del Toro is an excellent filmmaker. The premises of this movie are commendable but the implementation is plain horrible. We all have been told that our society is extremely divided today and if one of the sides wins then the end of the world will come. But I wonder since when has it become a crime to have different opinions?
The main premise behind the movie is that it is okay to be different and I am sure we all agree with that. The problem is that according to the movie if one differs from the "different" than it is a crime.
The world is simply black and white and there is nothing in the middle. The bad guys are racist, sadistic, and homophobic. The good guys are emotional, creative, and acceptable.
