Reaching out - voting matters
1 May 2021
Like many beloved tv shows, fans want to get them back - see all those beautiful individuals in their respective roles. In this case we can look behind the curtain (literally) and have an episode retold in a way that we have not seen before - as a play on stage. Of course one of the most beloved individuals of the show has passed - while making the show back then. He is being replaced here by another fine actor as we learn at the beginning of the show.

We also get a lot "breaks" - these breaks are being used to encourage people to vote. You never get a clear message on who to vote. Which is a great thing, because you should vote the way you feel is right. Of course that doesn't mean that one can read things into what is being said, when actors talk about health care, voter supression and other things. It is clear what they think, even if it isn't said out loud. The fact that mainly figures of one political party went ahead and were part of this, also shows something ... who actually cares about certain values and who doesn't - no matter what they might try to tell you later on.

Some of these segments in between may "bore" after the fact ... but there are also a lot that seem to predict what happened ... they warned us. Michael Cohen warned the American public too - in 2019 at his testimony. He knows the guy, so he knew there would not be a peaceful transition ... on the other hand, anyone sane and with a bit of logical comprehension could also tell ... maybe not the degree it happened (with the insurrection), but the direction this would take.

The episode they chose is quite fitting to the whole voting theme ... and as especially the first 4 seasons go, is as good as it gets. If you are not too afraid or too bored I reckon, to look back and cringe, because you know what happened, even after all the warnings, even after all the debunking the show does (about election fraud and manipulation to name some more topics tackled) ... you'll get a look at a show that still can be considered one of the best ever made ...
