Reviews of Anti-History

This issue includes illustrated with stills film reviews from Anna Faktorovich and Susie Gharib. Editor Faktorovich criticizes and theorizes on six recent television series. The topics covered include: the pro-monarchic satire and propagandistic anti-history in The Great, the tribal death-drive of American culture in Outsiders, the suspiciously fraudulent statistical solutions in Numb3ers, the simplified version of the mega-Sherlock-detective-myth in Elementary, avoidable disasters in a rigged industry in the Deadliest Catch, and the romantic perspective on white-slavery and piracy in Black Sails. Gharib reviews A Monster Calls (2016), Mary Shelley: The Birth of Frankenstein (2003), Last Knights (2015), and Philadelphia (1993).
