What a powerful and moving vid! I can't believe how perfectly you've depicted the things that bother me about H50! My initial reaction to the show was: I like the pretty, but OMG, violent! And later that turned into: Woah! That's a LOT of police brutality. More than the show should be able to get away with under the free pass of "action show". I love how your vid demonstrates how the show practically *marries* the brutality to the pretty and the banter, and yes, how it's not "just Steve" but Danny too, and--to a lesser extent--the whole team. And also, how often the torture violent interrogation is perpetrated not just against perpetrators of crimes, but against *anyone* they want to question (e.g. the weightlifting guy).....
I still love my show, but feel guilty watching the...cartoonish...brutality, which we'd never tolerate (I HOPE) from police forces in real life....
Thanks for a powerful and eye-opening vid. It's wonderfully done, too--music and clips welded powerfully and rhythmically together to tell a compelling story...
