I love James Patterson books and always look forward to new Alex Cross novels. Full of suspense. The movies based on his novels have been good, although the books are always better if you read them first. Kiss the Girls movie was great and kept you on the edge of your seat.
I love Aldis Hodges as an actor especially on Leverage. He's charming, sexy and humorous. Surprised at how buff he has become though almost too buff.
I was excited to watch this show when I saw it advertised because of the books and the main actor, however I only made it 10 or 15 minutes into the show before turning it off. I watch TV "shows" to take a BREAK and ESCAPE the political issues that plague today's society and this show did anything but! In the short few minutes of watching I heard woke BLM, de-fund the police and I have a bigger "package" than you 'cause I'm black. I THOUGHT I'd be watching a show that was about police catching criminals. Instead, I got a lecture on political issues and racism before the 1st plot even showed itself. I wanted to watch "entertainment", not a race documentary.
I was raised in the 60's and raised without racist views of any kind. Of differences between people of color or anything else for that matter. Maybe it's because my family immigrated here in the late 1920's and the KKK targeted ANYONE who came here that were different than them EVEN IF YOU WERE WHITE! My grandfather had an extremely difficult time finding work because of them. And WHEN will it be clear that BLACK native tribes enslaved other black native tribes and THEY are who SOLD them off to be shipped here.
As long as there are cultural differences that others disagree with regardless of the color of the race, racism will continue, but constantly pushing race agendas is racist in itself and only continues to fuel it.
The definition of racism in the dictionary is, "the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.
