New Bergerac

[stuart little]

Any comments on this 'New' woke-edition? I for one am, I found it 'racist' against Caucasians, with SO many non-Caucasian police officers in such a confine on Jersey. Some reviews said the series is 'dark' - I know what that means now. I saw more non-white officers in one episode than I've ever seen in the West Mercia! How can the producers expect us to accept the credibility of the production? It needs a reverse 'trigger warning', as I took offence! The music was so loud, more like that at a 'rave', making dialogue difficult to hear. One episode was one too many, so I for one, won't be watching any more. Oh, as for the characters, not at all impressed, especially Crozier (very annoying), & where did Molony spring from - never 'eard of 'im. Charley Hungerford having a 'gender swap'????/??

PS. No offence intended, but it does help when life as it is, is portrayed realistically - but then again it's become a 'Nanny-State'. I am NOT racist, BUT, I believe it should work BOTH ways.

Ha ha - I do enjoy it when one reveals all by protesting what "I'm not ...". But I detect that you may prefer a different reality from that traditional in Britain - perhaps one akin to that of the mad place over the Atlantic? Survival of the fittest (at exploiting others without limit)! Are you fit enough?

You seem, though, to be at least a racialist. This is defined as someone who believes that the concept of human racial differences is valid - not necessarily that some of the so-called races are inferior, necessarily .... but that's often tagged on, since its a primary driver of the notion of racialism in the first place. Why does it matter to you what skin colour appears on actors? Must we also ensure that certain nose shapes or ratios between trunk length and leg length are reflective of some median or other? Are eye colours important?

"Nanny state". Where would we all be without that nanny, eh? Us Boomers would likely be dead of being a child, a not unusual outcome for the bairns born before the welfare state in Blighty. Even the survivors tended to get minced as cannon fodder or industrial-process wastage instead.

Perhaps you should have your local police, roads, NHS et al denied you to see how well you do without nanny in attendance? Sadly, this condition seems to be slowly being foisted on all of us. Nanny has been forcibly retired, it seems. Let's hope there's no burglars or illness about to mug you. Or me!

Not in the view I intended it to sound. It's the way that 'equality' (which I'm in favour of) is, as in this case, very OTT. (IMHO)
I was just commenting, that for the State of Jersey to have so many non-caucasian polis officers in one station is highly improbable. Unless a boat load of illegals landed on their shores & all got recruted!!

I think when one watches a series it is obviously make believe - a fiction. For one to be drawn into this fiction and continue to watch, things have to be plausible, at least within the context of the story.
Apart from productions, that are pure fantasy, one has to be convinced that the story being told could actually be real. Otherwise people will just disengage, and lose interest.

Exactly, your last sentence sums up my comments as I intended
