But also I just read bluenorthwest's reply #1, so maybe the show is actually a little deeper than this review suggests. I wouldn't know because I haven't seen it.

But in any case, the writer here does a good job of rebutting some of the dumbest anti-occupy arguments that were spewed by cable news windbags during those months -- arguments that continue to be repeated.
