UK TV writers are chronically anti-American, and there's no law against that.
But it's disturbing when Harry Pearce, head of Section D, has a warmer relationship with the #3 from Al-Qaeda (the British squeeze out a 4th syllable there-Al-Kay-EE-Dah) than he does with his US counterparts.
Throughout the series, frequent snide references are made about "the special relationship" and "the cousins." Americans are consistently portrayed as controlling and coldblooded, but surely they must have at least one redeeming trait.
I can think of two. Coming to Britain's aid twice. In one century. Across 86 episodes, I wish someone would've mentioned that. Just once.
