    Did anyone watch the Counterpart series? I thought it was brilliant watching the same characters in parallel worlds and the meetings of the characters, and the character development thereafter. The parallels to the current pandemic were so apparent when I rewatched it last year. A pity it was cancelled after season 2

    Glad to see you, Sharon!

    I find it nearly impossible to watch anything. It just doesn?t hold my attention, or it irritates the hell out of me because of PC crap.

    I find it nearly impossible to watch anything. It just doesn?t hold my attention, o
    it irritates the hell out of me because of PC crap.

    That is because you are trying to watch modern series instead of old ones.

    Go watch some Adventures of Jim Bowie or Fury. They have their own PC and antics, but
    they are so old PCs and antics that they are not recogniceable as such today. Series
    from the 50s get way less love than they deserve.

    Also I like Fury very much. He reminds me of a horse close to my village.

    No PC crap in this. Has a Cold War feel. It?s dank and gritty.
