You have articulated my concerns about the show, as a long time book fan -Thank you.

As a book lover, I could literally only stomach the first episode. Noped the hell out after watching it.

The actual true story of the Littlehampton Letters is a real life cracking story, and would of made a great movie, but the film makers decided to make it racially diverse and they decided to make Rose an unmarried mother, who lied about having a husband die in the war. In real life Rose was married to a white English man, (black live in lover in the film) and the child she looked after was her sisters. PC Gladys Moss was also white and English, but they made her Indian, the judge was black and so was the postmistress, its highly unlikely this would of been the case in real life. They decided to make the Irish Rose common and vulgar, in one scene she pulled up her dress and exposed her ass to the police, in 1920's England, this on its own would of carried a prison term! The whole debacle on it own would of made a great film, I dont know why they decided to veer so far off what actually happened! Had this been set in 2024, England is indeed very racially diverse, but it was the 1920's, when England would of been over 99% white.

I decided to watch Wicked Little Letters following your recommendation so imagine my surprise that not only did it take place in my home town of Littlehampton but also in Western Road where I lived for fve years 🙂

Wokeness or progressivism generalizes about people, especially critical theory. Critical theory says: If a group is overrepresented, the system is privileging this group. But leftist usually dont belive in it if the own group is overrepresented. You cannot see based on these factors if there is discrimination. Critical theory was always used against successful groups like Jews. The racists of the past thought Jews are evil, because Jews are so successful and overrepresented and they believed there must be a system and there must be intitutions that benefits them. Therefore they used words like Jewish Science, Jewish media etc. You always have different success of different groups, that has nothing to do with discrimination or you cannot see if there is discrimination based on these data sets. I would rather guess the discrimination was the other way around that the system discriminated Jews.

I haven't seen the movie, but you're talking about progressive (which is good), not woke (short of performative woke)

I have just watched 4 videos about Kamala Harris made by conservative people. Their bias is very evident ofc but in calling Kamala Harris a DEI pick there is no bias, they just show democrats listing the things that make Kamala a good choice. Female and PoC. This was a nice channel until the political BS.

Loved it! Thanks for the recommendation. 😊

Perfect!

Sentenced to hard labor for living freely does sound like ol' England. And, sadly, a bunch of places in the current day States.

#GirlBoss! Covid what?? I’ll saveeeee youuu! 😀

So inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

One suggestion, if you have mental health issues, do not follow politics. Everyone lies, even sources you should be able to trust, especially when Trump is involved. From outside in, you have terrible choices in the US. Not going to comment further on US politics as they are way too divisive. People are people and I trust that the US will get through the next 4 years regardless who the president is.

Thank you for sharing🙏🏾

Only 37% of US viewers finished the show

Come on Amy. One thing I didn’t agree with your opinion is Joe Biden was kind. His domestic policies are good but his foreign policy is disastrous. His entire administration are liars and enablers. But , Kamala is the only sane choice compared to Trump.

So you dont want to watch it but you are going to so you can critique it. So are you just a click hunter. Lol do you like the peter jackson trilogy?

I agree with your opinions and concerns in this video 100%. For the record I’m a formally mostly Republican leaning Independent who voted for Trump in 2016 and then course corrected by voting Biden/Harris in 2020. I have never been overly enthusiastic for Harris though and pretty much planned on voting for Biden or whoever was the Democratic candidate (even if they were the President’s mailman, mechanic or favorite pet….looking at you, Commander…😉). Over the last few days however……..Vice President Harris has really stepped up and impressed me and inspired me. I can see that she won’t just be a better choice than Trumpie could ever hope to be……. She will be an incredible President of the United States in her own right. 🇺🇸👍🏻😉

Love this. Thank you.

Your stream of consciousness is like an article you’re writing in real time. You are so poignant with your thoughts. I couldn’t agree more with everything you said.

I appreciate hearing your voice and opinion and I agree with basically all of it, though I hadn't been a fan of Kamala Harris before. I had read something negative about her time as attorney in California that had bad impact on single moms, something to do with schools and how they require kids to be there, and that Harris's response to criticism on this was very dismissive and her office tried to deny it for a long time before finally admitting and trying to repair it and doing the apology tour. At least that was my understanding, maybe I didn't get that right, but at the time, I think it was when Biden got the nomination originally, and there's issues on his track record too, but ultimately I was like.. yknow, of course they are a bazillion times better than the republicans.. they are still institutionalists, capitalist people who believe in hierarchy instead of who's really best for the job.. I think thats a mistake. She may be pretty good but the fact she got VP doesn't equate automatically to she's got what it takes to be president. Also, its not just about if she's a good president in general, which sure she might be, but in these specific times, is she the right person to fight the extreme right? I'm not sure... but, I also haven't been up to date on a lot of things the past year- I had to take a complete step back from it all cuz my anxiety was making me unable to take care of daily life, and my two littles. so.. I want to believe in Kamala, I think I was being too harsh on her and that overall she is a great candidate. I just wish we had someone less corporate and that our politics overall were being handed down more to gen X and older millennials.

Although I am no fan of Trump, I can respect your well thought-out opinions even if my own diverge from yours. During Trump's first term he at least had some sane actors around him acting as a check on his behavior (yes there were back actors too). This time around I don't know how many people will be willing to play that role, or if Trump will listen to them.

Change from your usual videos but why not comment on the wider world if it feels personal to you! As a European economic leftie I often find the political discussions in the US to be theatre with both sides avoiding policy (we are almost as bad). I would point out that Woke and Diversity are not left-wing positions, not unless you believe that the most capitalist companies in the world like Black Rock, Goldman Sachs, Raytheon etc are all on the "left". All of the big corporates have adopted these policies with departments and board members dedicated to them. They do not lobby against them like they do tax and regulation policy. Where I would agree is that there is a class war happening, being carried out by the professional class (including the likes of Biden and Harris) on behalf of the donor class. The Trump vote includes the F U vote from parts of the working class who know nothing about Trump's policies (he doesn't really have any of his own) but know that it upsets the media / journalist class who talk down to them every day. There is a lot of research out there that shows that politicians do not care about the issues of the voters, they enact the policies of the donors. I am sorry to say that Kamala is as bad as any when it comes to lobby (bribe) money. Threat to democracy you say, you don't live in one! I do find it amusing that Trump who was a 40 year Democrat, a friend to the Clintons, encouraged to run by Hillary suddenly became the personification of all evil by the media. I agree with your take on his personality but have to wonder if the media had just let him have his McDonalds, patted him on the head and said everyone loves you and sent him out to play golf we could have avoided so much of this...

People on the left keep confusing diversity with woke. Diversity is fine because it's organic - I give you shows like OZARK and HALSTON and THE DIPLOMAT. There are plenty of diverse characters in them, but those characters are never handled with kid gloves - those characters are never given a pass, and never clumsily and predictably elevated over heterosexual white men, simply by virtue of certain immutable features. This is called art. Whereas woke, which commits all of the above-mentioned crimes and more, isn't art. It's propaganda, and propaganda is the death of art.

I found this video fascinating. Ordinarily I can't abide people on UA-cam talking about their personal issues - among other things, it often leaves the impression such people are experts in nothing but themselves - but you speak with clarity and authority. I zoned out only when you related your interaction with your mother during a holiday - otherwise, I was riveted as much as when, quite a while ago, I stumbled across a TV Guide article about Michael Landon's childhood. Are you familiar with Muriel the Purple Bookwyrm? She's also a brilliant critic on UA-cam, and autistic as well. She blocked me after we discussed abortion - hailing from Belgium, she believed the European media when it mendaciously claimed Roe v. Wade's overturn would criminalize abortion in America - and after I quoted the English Book of Common Prayer ("Marriage is a holy estate and therefore not one intended for the satiation of base carnality in the manner of the beasts, which have no understanding..."), but it didn't diminish my regard for her talent. PS: I've written some new songs during your extended absence, and I've been told that my SONG OF HIAWATHA is a little masterpiece, as hypnotic as a peyote ritual, and with a finale worthy of Broadway. (There are two versions on my channel - the one with the live voices is a little longer but features an incredible soprano solo. The singer flawlessly hits a note one full tone higher than the infamously high one in the national anthem.) PPS: The kittens are all grown up? 🙂

You’re the greatest “girl boss” ever! Be careful! Your book shelf looks like it will fall on you. I will saaavveee you! 😀

I pray Kamala Harris will be the Democrat nominee. Perhaps then some enterprising reporter - one not in the DNC's pockets - will ask her, the putative Border Czar who never visits the border, how she feels about several dozen illegal aliens baked to death in a van during a hot Texas summer. (Are you aware of that particular incident, Amy?) I attended President Trump's rally in the South Bronx, a few weeks ago, and it was beautiful. I sat in the park next to a large African family speaking a language of which I couldn't understand a word - just the sort of voters the Democrats are terrified will switch parties. (The South Bronx, as you may know, is only 5% white - the rest is two-thirds Hispanic and one-third black.) And as for Biden - he's no longer an issue, but I've heard, straight from the lips of a border-state governor, whom I met during a recent event in Manhattan, and who went to the White House to express his concerns about the border, that he - Biden - is utterly befuddled. He has only a vague grasp of issues and relies almost entirely on his handlers, who flank him protectively in the understandable dread he'll say something unusually stupid, as he did when he invited Russia to attack Ukraine. People are sick of your "woke" party, Amy. They've already voted against it, by not buying tickets to Hollywood's recent rubbish, all of it little more than DNC propaganda. Hopefully the same will hold true during the election, and hopefully social-media platforms like Twitter and UA-cam won't repeat their 2020 performance and inflame anew our dangerous division by censoring stories injurious to anyone but Trump. PS: Notwithstanding our political disagreements, it's great to see you back, Amy! 🙂 I've seen all of your recent videos and thought them remarkable. 💐

You should probably just vote for Trump and free yourself of the emotional manipulation, narcissism and abuse of the Left. The Left lied to you for 4 years about the mental well being of Biden and thinks you are too stupid to see otherwise. As you can see by the copious hate from the Left regarding the failure of the assassin to hit his target, you can also see who is pushing the hate. The Left also is certainly not concerned about "wage inequality". They abandoned that ages ago and are now the Party of the elites.

"Therapy works and to prove it to you all I'm going to watch season 2..." Good luck I know I couldn't do it!

Hello! Not an American citizen but I have a stake in this coming election. You said a bunch of things and my intention is not to argue against them but to challenge your views with another perspective. 1. Democrats are also a threat to democracy just look how they are attacking and canceling people that do not share their opinions. 2. All politicians lie but the democrats have lied so obviously and so much ...Inflation, border control, Biden 's mental health, all incredible lies. 3. DEI. After all that talk about DEI nothing you say will convince anyone that Kamala Harris will make a great President. 4. Democrats have their extremists also. And you won't like the America that they want. You say that Trump is a bad person and I agree but the alternative is also bad.

❤ Thanks for sharing yourself with us. And thanks for the insight about myself. A lot of what you described about your autism diagnosis seems to describe me. And I’d never have guessed. Glad to have you back 😊

18 million people have illegally entered our country. Carbon emissions rose by 10% under biden, Credit card debt is rose fom 800B in 2019 to 1.3 trillion in 2024, the economy is shit, and our schools are performing terribly. You don't have to like Trump. You don't have to vote for Trump. But if you continue to vote Democrat at this point, you simply hate America.

I guess the studio wants maleable inexperienced people on this show

If the sea is always "right", then does that mean... - morally righteous? - rhetorically correct? - politically conservative? or... - off to the side? So many questions.

I predict Tom B will give the Stranger his hat and blue robe, turning the Stranger into the Blue Wizard. After that is confirmed, I am going to turn it off.

I noped out as soon as you called people fascists. You make yourself look ignorant when you use that sort of language. It's that sort of demonisation of people you disagree with politically and culturally that fuels the current division in society. It's funny how this culture war nonsense and political tribalism rots even the smartest peoples brains.

I think all our western democracies are in danger because of growing inequalities and environmental issues. Immigration will grow immensely (climate refugees), while our western countries may lose one fifth of their wealth up to 2050. It’s already quite a challenge for our societies but on top of that, part of the upper class is realizing their wealth and power will soon slip through their hands, and they cling to it more than they do to democracy. Politicians like Trump are useful pawns for people even more dangerous themselves. Here in Europe we have their exact counterparts and many voters don’t see them as dangerous even as those fascists proclaim on TV they would bypass the constitution once in power! In France where I live, we are slowly losing our liberties though the wanna-be dictators haven’t got to rule yet ! And it’s been so for many years already. Fascism is one slow cancer, it grows in hiding and that’s why our voters, European and Americans alike, refuse to see the danger as long as they’re not randomly brutalized by cops in the streets and their savings stay safe. To those who say US democracy survived after 2020, I would answer that democracy is like our body. Being still alive after severe illness doesn’t mean being in good shape. And then one other illness can push you over the cliff. Would democracy in the US survive 4 years more with Trump as president ? It might... the same way one veteran of Irak would, with lasting trauma. And the trauma will spread outside your borders, that’s why here in Europe people scrutinize your presidential election almost as much as they do for our own elections. Yet one thing gives me hope regarding America : your constitution seems almost sacred and harder to change or ignore than many others.

Well, Amy, thank you in advance for watching it so I don't have to.

No end to the idiotic voters out there that echo the media narratives around democracy when the US System is in fact a constitutional republic and not a democracy. You cannot fix stupid.

I found it amusing that you opened the video with the sentiment that the ancient chinese curse has already come true: "May you live in interesting times!" Seems to me that voting in that two party system is ever more a devil's alternative. I do agree with all of what you said about the republican candidate, problem I find is that some of what the other side stands for is unacceptable as well. And so I'm not sure who really stands for the lesser of all the evils. Still, your video gave welcome insights. Even if I don't agree on all the issues mentioned, it was good to hear them.

Wait, what? It wasn't cancelled? But it was SOOOO bad... It was the Ring of Power in a television show format. Watching it is effectively like telling the universe that you want to be a slave. Why is there going to be a season 2? Oh, right, Amazon. I forgot, people with money can waste more than people without it.

The media has gaslit you into believing that Trump is a bigger threat to The US than the Deep State is, and that is wrong.

I liked Harris in her 2020 run but she was barely present as vize president from an european point of view. She seems underused.

I rarely get super indignant about stuff concerning money. But when I had finished watching season 1 of RoP, I could not stop myself from thinking, "Seriously? 1 billion god damn dollars for this? 1 billion dollars for 8 episodes of at best mediocre tv? How is this justified? How much good could be done with that much money? Some people are struggling to even save up 5 thousand dollars, and these people at Amazon spent 1 BILLION dollars on making something this bland and ridiculous?" What a letdown😅
