He was tired of being pushed around
English isn't my native language (not even my second language).But I do love to watch british series in english and if available with subtitles(not often the case somehow). Imagine my confusion when a unrelated looking 30 year old calls the older women character Mom. Because it didn't happen to often on my viewings (maybe Ma'am isn't that common) I was confused but I put it always aside as me being not attentive enough. Only with the magic of subtitles was I able to understand how much of an moron I was.
So my brother tonight is sitting down to watch Star Wars IV with his son for the first time and we were talking about shows that we wish we could see again for the first time.
So I ask you, what is the one TV series you wish you could rewatch but with fresh eyes for the first time?
Something similar to Peaky Blinders, Hannibal or Breaking Bad would be ideal.
Edit: Thanks for the responses. After much careful consideration I have decided to go with The Wire
I don't know if this question has been asked before but I will ask it anyway. What movie do you think would have been better suited as a TV Series?
Some films try to cram wayyyyy too much into too little and feel overstuffed as a result, personally, I think the recent Matt Damon film Stillwater would have been better as a crime miniseries since there was just too much put into the film it felt overstuffed and questions were left unanswered
What films would you say?
I need a new tv as my current one doesn’t have 4K. Should I look at getting a tv with the 2.1 hdmi? Or with 120hz? I don’t know too much about TVs. Will a 4K 60fps tv do?
We just finished the second season and I feel like the second season is just as good if not better than the first season. I've read the books up to where they're at in the show. There's a lot of changes, especially in the second season, mainly expanding and adding characters (the broad strokes are still pretty similar), but I think overall they're more positive than negative. What does everyone else think?
I have a 13 year old Deaf sister. She's been Deaf all her life. We watch a lot of movies together. It's one of the things she can actually enjoy doing with other people. We've seen all the Marvel movies and series and she's watched them too. Anyway. When she saw Hawkeye was hearing impaired she beamed with a smile because she felt he was like her now. I too love how the show handles deaf and hearing impaired characters. It really gives representation to the deaf and hearing impaired people in the super hero world.
Just wanted to share as this was something that just made me smile.
Just the title
At first it reminded me of the Leftovers, but this show will be well remembered in its own right.
>!Loved the circular nature of the story. In the start, Kirsten loses her family, finds Jeevan, who then loses her, but she finds Sarah, Alex and the traveling symphony (her new family). In the end, she loses Sarah, Alex but finds Jeevan and keeps her family, because the world is safe.!<
Might have to read the book to see if answers more questions.
I have seen the ICGJC preach in uptown in microphones, portrayed very aggressively for their group. I did some research on them and they come up as black supremacists, which match my perception of them based on what they were preaching. I am mixed (black and white) and was called impure, descendants of those who sold their tribes to European slave traders. They are openly racist, sexist, and homophobic. Their perceived enemies are apparently white people (just in general, white people...), as well as asians, promiscuous black women, abortionists, gay people, among others.
How are we allowing and turning a blind eye to this group? This in my opinion is a hate group, and black supremacists. This is not black empowerment. Can you imagine if there was a branded white supremacist group preaching in uptown? In my opinion, this is because of their intimidating stature (group of intimidating black men). Freedom of speech is a right, but spewing hatred??
Edit: I mentioned that i understand freedom of speech is a thing. I am asking, how are the people turning a blind eye to it. If it was a white supremacist group, the whole city would go nuts and try to have them canceled. There shouldn't be room for hate in this city, regardless of what group/color.
Edit 2: maybe I shouldn’t have compared to a white supremacist group because it seems like a lot of the attention is being turned to historical race issues. I meant to point out HATRED in general. Funny no one seems to point out the hatred towards Asians, Jews, provocative black women, or gays from this group but the focus has been on white vs black. I’m talking about a HATE group. We are sitting back while a hate group spews hate in our city. And I’m angry because this is my beautiful city and don’t want to see that. Yes I get they have freedom of speech but since when were we okay with a hate group preaching in the city and no one talks about it?
I felt this way about The Nevers, it seemed like a generally interesting period drama with superpowers but it wasn’t so amazing that I really wanted to watch it all the way through then the big reveal at the end of how (no spoilers) was like “okay, whoa, I’ve got to keep going.”
What other shows have worked that way for you?
Interesting points from Bradon: https://youtu.be/Dnbmku3lFmg?t=431
For example, LotR movies were hated so much for the changes they made, the casting choices, removal or Tom from Fellowship of the ring, etc. But now we don't remember it.
That said, criticism is good when it's constructive :) If you like or don't like the show, share it, but don't hate others for liking or disliking it :)
