Perhaps this is a Lesser known Christie work due to rampant racism. Uses the phrase 'touch of the tar brush' to describe a character. The casual racism of the English is rattled off like a personal preference for sugar in your tea. Glib Whitewash of the horrific results of racism, such as whipping a slaves back to shreads.Perhaps this is a Lesser known Christie work due to rampant racism.

Breath taking. Grifters, robbers, outlaws, -- American capitalism is based on the love of the con. as long as the people you scam aren't rich or are women, the law is on your side!

Sustained morbid depressed speech over how many episodes, each indistinguishable from the next, smothered in a blanket of gloom. The center of the english psyche, compensated by a candy coating of racism.

Series star baranski is oddly sidelined. in previous seasons she centered the show when it was careening off the rails.
Women aren't trusted to do that. So they rewrote her as a nut job and the show lost it's lode star

The vast majority of child rape and murder is done by men. Yet as cultural icons, women are styled as the greatest threat to children. Fundamentals of patriarchy.

Good reader. This is maybe my favorite Agatha Christie, along with Orient Express. Her plots can get bogged down in discursive exposition about inheritance, various poisons, but the dialogue in this one is very good. P.D. James once said that the books are so similar that you can forget which one you are reading. In at least 4 novels, a character is looking over someone's shoulder and sees the villain (but the revelation of who/what they saw is delayed for the reader). That device -- looking over someone's shoulder -- is an example of her genius.Good reader. This is maybe my favorite Agatha Christie, along with Orient Express.

We see in the 1st season Perry mason inherited much from film noir where the female lead roles were either ditzy sex symbol (often blonde) or sharp Girl Friday (often brunette). In the 1st season, Della is the later and she speaks with confidence and intelligence about perry's cases.
In later seasons, Della became a hybrid, a kind of dumb brunette, always mystified and in awe of the great man.
as the stepford wife 50s became the upheaval 60s, CBS didn't know what to do with Della, so they had her do nothing .We see in the 1st season Perry mason inherited much from film noir where the female lead roles were either ditzy sex symbol (often blonde) or sharp Girl Friday (often brunette).

Performances are amazing. About the theme: the male characters in the rough and tumble real world, the nitty-gritty real world, the real, living men, are despicable users, scammers, cockroaches. However, in the end, the mother gets all the blame, and prince charming rescues the damsel from the castle. Patriarchy 101.Performances are amazing.

As noted, this is very well written and read. It forges a clear path to the past, a nostalgic celebration of the endless cycle of violence and revenge. The long gone myth of the American frontier, the outlaw fantasy, rugged individualism, guns, guns, and more guns. This is patriarchy, a book written by a man, in the guise of an adolescent girl. The confederacy rises again, in the plucky voice of Entitled White Confidence, meaning True Grit. John WayneAs noted, this is very well written and read.

like most americans i loved an english accent and couldn't really tell the class differences. Now that I understand that the accent distinctions signal racism I no longer love an english accent. Its time to take a stand and sacrifice those aesthetics pleasures.
