Whoever is writing this show, this was a bad "kitchen sink" episode.. everything possible goes on, the spy plot is way to long and drawn out, and the Kennedy chase was silly
It is NOT a period piece because the show is a revisionist view of how that time ACTUALLY was. Blacks would have been much less accepted, if at all. Women would be a lot more just sex objects for the guys and they would be less aggressive even during this time period. No, this is what happens which the PC types try to make a show from a time when the term politically correct didn't even exist. These women would be in the work force, but in no way treated anywhere like on this show either as it was breaking ground just to be in the work force more so now. It may have been a good show on cable like Starz, Showtime, etc. but it would also have to be a LOT more realistic in how events really were during that time. That's why shows like this always fail to the masses or at least those of us that have actually lived those times.Nelson Au said:With Charlies Angels cancelled, I hope Pan Am is not next, it's ratings are nearly as low. But I think this show has potential. But perhaps the period piece is not for everyone.
No, this is what happens when writers try to write certain stories. Don't turn this into a pc thing. By the way, it's not "pc" to treat people with some respect etc. That's called being a decent person. No doubt, all of the issues were more common than depicted, I bet if any of us tried to write these stories, you got to pick your battles. Only so much can fit into the script and how it fits is important. Just because the depth of the show is shallow does not make it any less of a "period" show. It's not 2011 on that show.No, this is what happens which the PC types try to make a show from a time when the term politically correct didn't even exist.
