Bonekickers
I followed the advice of those who told me to watch the BBC Flagship Archaeological Drama Bonekickers. The title makes me think "I ain't saying she a gold-digger, but she ain't messin' with no bonekickers." Sorry, Kanye.
I watched the episode on the iPlayer which was about Slavery and it was amazing.
The main character is a Maverick Archeologist who has a thing for swords that makes me expect them to find Excalibur in the finale. Because that's the only sword everyone has heard of. She is a strong woman in control of her own life and is really a bit fixated on phallic objects. She used to go out with Ben who is the only character I can name and he was in The Day After Tomorrow and to answer the important question, yes I would.
It also stars a cheaper version of Gene Hunt and Tish what was Martha's sister. Tish knew about slavery other than getting to say "Gosh, the British didn't personally capture the slaves?" because the audience is assumed to know nothing about the past or indeed anything. Ben has the good grace to look ashamed to be in this pile of shit, especially in The Episode About Black People which also featured "Not Actually Barack Obama" and - you'll like this - an African academic who was Overly Mysterious and scarily close to being Mr Magical Negro. Then he died. But only after doing a tribal dance over an archeological dig. I bet this episode thought it was really good with the whole race thing.
ANYWAY it turned out that there was centuries of people being murdered in case people found out that black people fought in the American War Of Independence. Or something. It was about how George Washington was less racist than everyone else, as proved by a cave painting. No, really.
Then it was mysterious again about swords.
It is incredibly awful and you have to see it preferrably with other people at least on the phone or the interwebs, because it is addictive in how little it thinks of the audience's intelligence.
