The murder of a young mother on a playground propels the investigating detectives down a path of discovery that tests their personal lives and safety. As the investigation unfolds, the scope of involvement widens to a conspiracy far outside the bounds of their community. In an effort to save some other poor soul from a complete waste of time, I'm penning my first review. This was the worst thing I have ever watched. I even stuck with all 8 episodes just in case the end was redeeming. I'm an avid watcher of all British crime dramas -- and until now, I have liked them all.
Despite an appealing cast, this mess just couldn't save itself. Truly horrendous writing, uneven acting, and shallow characters abound. There was much eye rolling and groaning on our part as we tried to make it through the series. A thoroughly unlikable heroine was like nails on a chalkboard. Don't do it, folks. The wacky Germans were fun tho.

The title was later changed to "Iron Man" as bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler composed the lyrics. Tony Iommi turned out to be one of the greatest heavy rock riff-makers of all time. Whenever we went into the studio we'd challenge him to beat his last riff — and he'd come up with something like 'Iron Man' and blow everyone away. In the process of returning to the present, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field. He is rendered mute, unable verbally to warn people of his time of the impending destruction.

His attempts to communicate are ignored and mocked. This causes Iron Man to become angry and have his revenge on mankind, causing the destruction seen in his vision. In The Last Supper concert film, Iommi remembers that at the time with most bands "it was all the 'flowers in your hair' and we wanted to sing and play about the other side of life. My father worked nights, my mother worked days, we had no money, we never had a car, we very rarely went on holiday And suddenly, you know, we hear about 'If you're going to San Francisco be sure to wear a flower in your hair'. And we're thinking, contemptuously 'What the fuck is San Francisco?
What's all this flower shit? I've got no shoes on my feet. Bob Dylan had long since faded from the present memory and there was nobody talkin' about the things that I wanted to talk about — political stuff — so that's what inspired me. In , Butler told Mojo magazine that the song "Paranoid" was "about depression, because I didn't really know the difference between depression and paranoia. It's a drug thing; when you're smoking a joint you get totally paranoid about people, you can't relate to people. There's that crossover between the paranoia you get when you're smoking dope and the depression afterwards.
I'd cut my arms, stick pins through my fingers, that kind of thing. I used to get really depressed and it was the only thing that could bring me out of it. If Sabbath hadn't made it, I'd have been long dead. I'd have killed myself. Symptom of the Universe , Butler was dead set against the song because he thought it too closely resembled Led Zeppelin 's "Communication Breakdown", with the bassist admitting, "I thought it was so much like that we couldn't possibly get away with it They were our favorite band by that time.
Iommi admitted that the band had doubts about the mellow number, telling Classic Albums , "It was almost one of those 'Should we do this? So it was about floating through the universe with your loved one, instead of 'Let's go down to the pub and have some chips', or whatever Just taking a spaceship out into the stars and having the ultimate romantic weekend. There was no programs telling you that the US troops in Vietnam, to get through that horrible war, were like fixing up and all this kinda thing.
It just stuck in me head and when we got to "Hand of Doom", that's what I wrote it about.

According to Butler, Ward's drum solo "Rat Salad" resulted from the band having to play eight and three quarter hour spots a night in Europe early in their career. Paranoid was originally titled War Pigs , but the record company allegedly changed it out of fear of a backlash from supporters of the ongoing Vietnam War. Ozzy Osbourne states in I Am Ozzy that the name change had nothing to do with the Vietnam War, and was entirely due to the record company deciding the album would be easier to sell if it was named after the single, which had already had significant success by the time the album was released, reaching number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.
It was too late, however, to alter the artwork. Joe Smith, who was executive vice-president at Warner Bros. I knew we weren't going to call it 'War Pigs'. I remember playing it and turning the sound way up and shaking the whole building I said 'I think that's the breakthrough album. I don't understand it but that 'Paranoid' sounds like a great title for an album and a great title for a single.
Paranoid (TV Mini-Series – ) - IMDb
The original UK vinyl release was in a gatefold sleeve featuring a black-and-white photo of the band, posed outdoors on a grassy hill, and was their first appearance on album artwork. The reviewer who gives one star is misguided. He likes Marcella which i felt was scattergun drivel. This Paranoid show has some soul and some pathos. Plus only 2 episodes in its all very interesting and mysterious and i have no idea where its headed.
Don't listen to then reviewer he likes pap clearly. The main characters in this are believable and flawed and the story is believable enough to swallow.
I say the actors are good and are a good mix that work well together. Its also not eerily dark tones which is all the rage these days and was good for a show or two but now is pretentious and annoying.

Anyway i like it and it has enough mix of plot, storyline and character unrevealing to keep me going. Visit Prime Video to explore more titles.
