Explore diversity with The (female) Wolf of Wall Street and Mad Black Men
It’s an interesting exercise to see how strange cultural norms are if you flip them in some way. So prepare to have your mind slightly boggled by these two videos. The first sees a gender-reversed version of the trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street (original: sexist or merely reflecting a sexist world? Discuss), while the second is actually a trailer for a six-part web series, Mad Black Men, which rather than swap black and white, looks at the 1960s ad industry from the point of view of its few black employees.

What have you been watching? Including The Smoke, The Americans, Elementary, Arrow and True Detective
It’s “What have you been watching?”, my chance to tell you what movies and TV I’ve been watching recently that I haven’t already reviewed and your chance to recommend things to everyone else (and me) in case I’ve missed them.
The usual “TMINE recommends” page features links to reviews of all the shows I’ve ever recommended, and there’s also the Reviews A-Z, for when you want to check more or less anything I’ve reviewed ever. And if you want to know when any of these shows are on in your area, there’s Locate TV.
So a few days away, just as all the new shows started and a whole bunch returned following the Winter Olympics, has meant a lot of things – namely I’m behind on quite a few show but have managed to watch an awful lot of House of Cards.
So after the jump, reviews of what I have seen – The Smoke, Almost Human, Fleming, Helix, The Americans, Arrow, Banshee, The Blacklist, Elementary, Line of Duty and True Detective.
