Like so many series these days, men really aren't allowed to have anything anymore. I briefly caught Netflix "Splinter Cell" the series, at a friends place. Predictably everything about an inherently male computer game inspired series, had been feminised. A woman operative in this opening scenes, a fully female back up team, too. Even when things go wrong, the male they call back into the role of operative, is old and over the hill. So no young, capable, military age, male role models available, huh? Given the likely demographic for this is young men, who play these kinds of games, whats the core message; very few of you are of value? In terms of everything else this is your standard Japanese style animation. Its alright but nothing special and the story, well its your basic pro US secret squirrel fare. In summary, all this series has done, for me at least, is underline the reasons I stopped paying for Netflix in the first place.
