Freedom - Além de Qualquer Liberdade

Terrorist acts against the United States, along with a plunge in the economy, allow the passage of numerous laws infringing on the Constitutional rights of US citizens, under the guise of a national emergency. This show was aired about one year too early! The story here is that after the emergency had passed, the military decides that THEY can run things better, so they stage a coup, prevent the President from restoring the Constitution, and take over the entire government. Fact or Fiction? THAT remains to be seen!

For you all that can't watch freedom anymore, because any mor*n director decided it not to show, Brazilian TV channel SBT is showing freedom again, every friday, 01:30 AM (Well, better than nothing) Freedom is one of the best TV show I have seen, pure intelligent action... Better than, for example, Alias.

It has been 3 months since they canceled the show and I'm still sad.:( I'm sorry but I can't get over it!It was such a good show.I watched it every Friday it was on-and if there was a even the slightest chance that I would miss it I would set the VCR to record it for me.

The action,the actors,the situations,the whole story line its all good!! And now that its gone there is a void left unfilled in my soul. They took it off the air because of poor ratings!I can't believe that people didn't like this show-I mean that MANY people!

I have written letters to the TV station pleading with them to put the show back on.

But back to the show itself! I really enjoyed how the actors really came together and played their parts well.This show was packed full of action too!Although not all the fighting was that real looking.And I like how the show had a funny side to it too.There were some pretty funny parts in the show if you ask me. But I wish the show had focused a little more on the lives of the actors-not just mission after mission.Maybe a little romance or a sad, heart ripping death or near death scene.

I still wish they had ended the show series with a graceful ending instead of just showing re-runs.You know what really burns me up inside though??Is that I didn't even think of recording the whole series!!I mean they only put 7 episodes on the air and ran them twice each-I could have gotten the whole series!I do have one of the episodes on tape but I can't bear to watch it for I fear I'll become to overwhelmed!But if I had the whole series on tape I would feel better.

So here is my final salute to freedom. ATTENTION! SALUTE!

It was the opportunity for Americans to feel what, mainly because of your government's fight against Marxism, millions of people around the world suffered, and are still suffering, including my country, where the coup and the following military regime took the lives of 30000 souls and lead us to a war that was impossible to win and turned us into a scum in international relations, and are also to blame for the catastrophic situation we're on. But let's get to business. At the beggining I thought it was an original idea, that could have been based on the European resistance during WWII. But the hunger for freedom/revenge stepped a side for the Matrix generation who were expecting a John Woo's film, with large backwards jumping and wall walking. A shame. It had a cast that not being the cream of TV it wasn't that bad, specially McCallany and Chorvat. But again what could have become one of the best action shows (but a well done one), became a mere fashion product with expensive sport cars and 4x4, leather and black clothing, an annoying and strident electronic music, a lot of hand to hand fighting and many, many explotions. Not to mention it usually had a stupid plot. Basically it's an example of how to waste a great idea and an adequate cast and turn it into just another product for the 90's Generation.I can't stop imagining what a good show it could have been, or at least in the many good ways the budget could have been used.

When I first saw the commercials for this show, all I saw were four people being spun on a big turntable of some kind. At first I thought 'great, another UPN glamour show'. Then I actually saw this show and I was amazed. Terrific special effects, great cast, good tight storylines. I was hooked from then on and stopped watching Providence to look at it. It was a lot better than what I normally expect and see on UPN. It's too bad they took it off the air. :o(
