I put this off because the Left kept calling this alt right porn:russ: this show is flames and gives a pov at all sides of the military industrial complex. There's one thing this show discussed that most people overlook in general. Pratt's character gets to talking about what he needs to, to bring peace to himself...he says some along the lines of how its foolish of him and others to expect trained warriors like him to operate normally in modern society. His actions are a normal response to grief because his country made him that way yet never provides ppl like Pratt with the means to cope. It is why Vets don't like going to the VA.... America doesn't care about its soldiers. This is a borderline anti military series.


I can see why someone would talk about alt right propaganda..... them clowns automatically stand anything put fascism on front street. Like them dudes love Full Metal Jacket, an anti-war film, that constantly pokes fun at their ideology.

This series starts off with how the government fukks mentally ill vets over and hard doubles down on it by the end. This cac is out here assassinating government officials in public.:bryan:These alt right fukks are too preoccupied with race to even go after the establishment.
I was actually listening to a podcast a few weeks ago and they were joking how political assassinations don't happen in this country anymore vs countries were guns are actually hard to acquire (japan etc) because political assisantions require a certain amount of drive, commitment and focus that americans don't have anymore.

This was lit :blessed:. Pratt was on demon time from the doctor visit in ep1 onwards :demonic:. If you love revenge type shows/movies, you'll love this.
To add on, it annoys me how revenge movies/shows now always seem to have the "you're better than this" stuff nagging at the protagonist and they eventually scale back or don't go all the way. This was revenge through and through and I loved it.

This shyt kinda meh.
They tried but they missed the mark.
This one of those shows where soon as you know the premise you know how it's gonna go, so you gotta have some other story in there that keeps you watching and keeps it from turning into background noise. They shoulda leaned into the political stuff a bit more. That was the interesting part of the story but following this one dude around knowing he gon kill everybody is just blah.
Shoulda kept the theme how it was going in the beginning with the psychotic breaks happening and not these terrible ass emotionless flashbacks of his kid.
Show is background noise with bullets

I was looking for the thread on this, this was solid and I enjoyed it. I watched a reviewer who said it’s like a mix of Rambo First Blood and The Punisher which I agree with. The action and acting is pretty good although the plot is pretty predictable and you can see most things coming. I wish he also faced more adversity when taking out his targets to make a little more satisfying. It kinda felt like he turned to Candyman after a while where it was an automatic death if he listed you.
