The Era of Dad TV: A Golden Age

CHARACTER Yoshii Toranaga (performed by Hiroyuki Sanada) is a feudal lord surrounded by adversaries. The ambience is majestic and expansive, despite the gruesome scenes. His mustache says he is dominant and respected. Anna Sawai portrays Lady Mariko as a crucial character, earning a positive BECHDEL RATING. Ideal for fathers who consider choosing lite beer to be a weakness.

CHARACTER Michael Douglas takes on the role of Benjamin Franklin in France. The context plays heavily on the fact it’s Michael Douglas, portraying Benjamin Franklin in a foreign land - France. He sports a minimalist mustache, with a seemingly high budget for powdered wigs. The Bechdel rating is middling. Ideal for fathers who have a marked preference for Wawa over Sheetz.

CHARACTERS Ncuti Gatwa, Austin Butler, Callum Turner, amongst others portray courageous pilots. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Band of Brothers: The New Class. They have faint mustaches - do they even carry toiletries on their aircrafts? The female characters, namely Rosies, are generally placed off-screen. Recommended for fathers who have a strong affection for their homeland.

CHARACTER Alexander Rostov is played by Ewan McGregor; a count housebound by Bolshevik. The ambience is cold and sophisticated, with a hint of poshness. He has an impressive mustache. Women do make appearances - including an actress performed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but the spotlight is on Rostov. For fathers who abhor sporting athleisure wear.

CHARACTER A man known only as The Captain (portrayed by Hoa Xuande) is a double agent for North Vietnam. The feel is varied: at times, it's gruesomely humourous, at times - downright sinister. His unassuming mustache underscores his spy image. Female characters are rather stereotyped, either as victims or romantic interests. Perfect for fathers with intriguing mysteries that may not be revealed for years.

The characters Edwin Stanton (performed by Tobias Menzies) pursuing John Wilkes Booth (portrayed by Anthony Boyle) carry intense mustaches. The atmosphere is akin to Lincoln without Lincoln (or Steven Spielberg). The Bechdel rating doesn't fare well as it's not titled Womanhunt. Ideal for fathers open to betting on a dinner with Doris Kearns Goodwin.
