Gave the series a chance. Got partway through the first ep of The Rig before it had too much gay commie message pushing for me.
- an oil platform that appears to have an equal number of men and women working on it (massive immersion breaker)
- woman has an authority position as the corporate beancounter
- another non-white appearing women is shown as a dyke having a zoom call with her "wife"
- female beancounter was disagreed with the old white man in charge, goes on a rant about how its been happening her whole career, calls him "dinosaur"
- (the dealbreaker) lesbo easily wins a fight with a larger white man
Noped out after 5.
Oil Rigging is one of those miserable shithole jobs that nobody but men would do, so the only reason they'd even bother making a show about it is for activism.
Especially as, unlike most of those "job" shows, the rig can't have hilarious disasters happen. Because one thing going wrong is usually either a mangling/killing, a massive ecological disaster, or something even an idiot knows is millions of dollars in losses.
Got to do it the right way, become a Process Operator and do control room jobs. Norwegian platforms do 2 weeks on, 4 weeks off. My friend who does it now spends more time golfing in Spain than he does here.
You don't even gotta get that far. Just being the supervisor on a lot of onshore rigs gets you a job making shit tons of money to sit in the truck all day watching DVDs and then responding to retarded questions.
