Oh, my god. All the Socialist crap, and barely no brain, just a collage of US movies thrown in. From time to time the series is hilarious. Like the Russians who can pronounce the cheap Ikea carpet names of Danish towns. And yea, the African girl, as well as the insidious Muslim, are very well received by one of the Whitest nations around, with a spectacular increase in extreme right wing votes. This is another hilarious part: how the Muslim inherits all the superstition that used to surround Jews only a century ago: profit seeking, conspiring behind closed doors, hiring the good Christians of the land. There is a ”vampire” girl in the fairy tale, so are they going to show how the Muslim uses Christian baby blood for his dark rituals?

I was hoping there would be more reviews here, and possibly some discussion of the series 'Chosen'. I enjoyed (the rather short) season 1 and I'm hoping it will be back to answer some questions that were left unanswered in the season finale. And speaking of the last episode of the season - whoa, it seemed to jump right off the rails when compared to all that transpired in the previous episodes. At any rate, overall the show was enjoyable, to me anyway, and I liked most of the characters. There were one or two that were not particular favorites of mine, but it's probably just me.

Families was a daytime soap opera produced by Granada Television and created by Kay Mellor. It followed two families; the Thompsons, based in Cheshire, England, and the Stevens, living in Sydney, Australia. It was produced and recorded at Studio 6 at Granada Studios in Manchester. The link in the storyline was businessman Mike Thompson, who walked out on his family on his birthday and flew to Australia to be with his true love Diana Stevens, whom he had left years earlier. Unbeknownst to Mike, Diana had given birth to his son Andrew and as complications ensued over the abrupt life changes for both families, Andrew travelled to England, where he met Mike’s daughter, Amanda, by his English wife Sue, and they fell in love, not realising that they were half-brother and sister. This plot line was somewhat similar to the opening storyline of the popular Australian soap opera Sons and Daughters which had successfully aired on ITV daytime since 1983. It was broadcast twice a week at 3.20pm with the first episode broadcast on 23 April 1990. Both episodes were also repeated on Thursday 10.40pm in the Granada TV region as part of Granada's "10.40-extra" strand. After two years, stories involving the Thompson and Stevens families—and the UK-Australian crossover angle—had run their course, with several characters either dead or left for pastures new. In their place came the wealthy Bannerman family, who were introduced during the summer of 1992, as they moved into the Thompsons' Cheshire mansion from a suburb of Manchester. In addition, some of the remaining Australian-based characters were re-located to England.
