The story of the capture of Nathan Hale is told using quite a liberal interpretation, I might add. In this version his cousin Samuel (as a British soldier) betrays and arrests him - which may or may not be true, but the story holds up for a while...at least until another overwrought ending. Brandon De Wilde's performance as Nathan Hale is not very inspiring, either.

The first episode that really digs hard into the bloody realities of war, distancing itself from the rah-rah claptrap of the previous two episodes. My guess is the ongoing spectre of Vietnam played a part into shaping the plot of this one. John Colicos guest stars as the ruthless British colonel. Compelling from start to finish.

This is the pro wrestling of reality TV. Like wrestling before it got really mainstream and ran on Saturday mornings, but even a step down from those jobbers.

I'm guessing the "unfavorable reviews" from Metacritic glossed over this is based on Andy Summers' OWN MEMOIR...but that's ok. And if it's a loose representation, it's a very endearing one.

This is a fun but really stupid record and if you get easily offended by explicit sex talk and jokes then DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM! Hi-C was affiliated with the same crew as DJ Quik and appeared and many of his records. There were a couple of tracks here that got notice: "Sitting in the Park" (a rap remake of a 60's soul hit) and "Leave My Curl Alone", which was Hi-C's plea for his hairstyle. This is kind of like an Ice Cube record around the same time but replace Cube's venom with the jester-like vocals of Hi-C, and the beats are not as solid. But the record is good for a revisit or two.
