Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War (2024)
OVERALL MESSAGE, ONE EGO OR ONE ERROR
This is a factual map from the atomic birth of the bomb during WW2 to the current day challenges we face and the ever looming threat of an all out nuclear war.
The narrative is revolves around the two superpowers of America and Russia, and their well documented history, a lot of time is given to explaining the paranoia and proxy conflicts following WW2. ( Cuba, Vietnam etc) It is an unbiased documentary and the equal problems all sides have faced. Russia feeling threatened by the expansion of NATO enlisted territories and America, the modern rhetoric given off by Putin. I guess there is an argument for both sides. I myself served in Germany during the cold war.
THE BOTTOM LINE... NO MATTER WHAT POLITICAL PERSUASION YOU ARE ,THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE ARE JUST THAT ... PEOPLE.
IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE MISTAKE ... EGO, TECHNICAL OR INSTABILITY.... SO MUCH POWER , BUT JUST ONE MISTAKE!
Queen of the South (2016)
started off good
The "queen" just goes from one mess to another (without getting hurt). In reality she would have been shot in the first episode in the Narcotics world. If real documentary evidence played out.
The same old story ... enemy lays the law down, our heroine wants to take the "nice " route. Low and behold she prevails.
Considering this is loosely based on a real female Cartel boss. It comes across very lame.
Narcos was gritty and realistic. Don't watch this if you want a hard hitting drama.
Not realistic , not gritty ... simple the A TEAM Mexican style. No clever plot twists unfortunately, just the same ethos over and over .
